What is rhizosphere acidification and how does this affect performance of Honeywell Sulf-N PRO fertilizers?
Sulf-N PRO ammonium sulfate temporarily reduces pH in the area surrounding turfgrass roots, also known as the rhizosphere. This is different from bulk soil acidification and offers several benefits: First, research demonstrates that low rhizosphere pH enhances absorption of phosphorus and important micronutrients like manganese and iron. Second, research suggests that low rhizosphere pH also accounts for why ammonium sulfate fertilizers like Sulf-N PRO ammonium sulfate suppress common soil borne diseases like summer patch, take-all patch, and spring dead spot.
