Vital ingredients

Both minerals are essential for plant health and growth, some plants requiring high amounts of these nutrients. YaraBela offers efficient formulations to ensure balanced fertilization without additional workload.

Sulfur

Sulfur plays an important role in plant metabolism and nitrogen uptake. It participates in the production of proteins and chlorophyll as well as enzymes, coenzymes and vitamins. Sulfur also impacts sugar quality. While all crops need sulfur for healthy growth, certain crops, such as oil seed rape and grassland, need high amounts of it. In former decades, sulfur depositions from the air have contributed to satisfy plant needs. Today, the generally improved air quality has significantly reduced such atmospherically depositions. Sulfur fertilization therefore becomes indispensable, especially for oil seed rape and grassland. The synergy of sulfur and nitrogen offers balanced nutrition with each granule and saves precious spreading time.

Magnesium

Magnesium is the central atom in chlorophyll and plays an important role in photosynthesis. Lack of magnesium inhibits plant metabolism. It is needed for optimum uptake of other nutrients as well as synthesis of proteins, fats and sugar. Magnesium is easily washed out and is often lacking on light and sandy soils. All crops need magnesium, but sugar beets and potatoes are specifically demanding.

An efficient formulation

Sulfur and magnesium occur in many combinations, but not all have the same agronomic efficiency. YaraBela contains sulfur as calcium sulfate, and magnesium as magnesium sulfate. Both are highly soluble and reach plant roots quickly. In addition, calcium sulfate, unlike ammonium sulfate, does not reduce the amount of available nitrate in the formulation.
