Now available at Martie’s in Elk River and Monticello, AMS is perfect for lawn enthusiasts, gardeners, and farmers who want superior results.

What Is Ammonium Sulfate (AMS)?

Ammonium Sulfate (AMS) is a widely used fertilizer that provides a readily available source of nitrogen (21%) and sulfur (24%) to plants. Nitrogen is vital for promoting lush, green growth, while sulfur is necessary for enzyme function and protein synthesis in plants. AMS is a soluble fertilizer, meaning it dissolves easily in water, making it ideal for both direct soil application and use in irrigation systems.

1. Nitrogen for Green, Healthy Lawns Nitrogen is essential for promoting strong leaf growth and vibrant green color in lawns. AMS delivers nitrogen in the ammonium form, which is easily absorbed by plants, making it ideal for lawns that need a boost in growth and color.

2. Sulfur for Improved Plant Health Sulfur is a key nutrient for plants, helping with the formation of essential proteins, vitamins, and enzymes. Sulfur also plays a role in improving the flavor of some fruits and vegetables, making AMS an excellent choice for gardeners looking to enhance their produce.

3. Soil pH Adjustment AMS can help lower the pH of alkaline soils, making nutrients more accessible to plants. This makes it particularly effective in areas where the soil is more alkaline and needs a slight acidifying agent to improve nutrient uptake.

4. Versatility for Multiple Applications AMS can be used on lawns, gardens, trees, shrubs, and even agricultural crops. Whether you’re looking to improve your home lawn’s appearance or enhance the growth of crops, AMS is a versatile fertilizer that provides consistent results.

How to Use Ammonium Sulfate on Lawns and Gardens

1. Application Rate for Lawns To promote lush, green growth in your lawn, apply 3 to 5 pounds of AMS per 1,000 square feet. Be sure to water the lawn after application to help the fertilizer absorb into the soil.

2. Application Rate for Gardens For vegetables and garden plants, mix 1 to 2 tablespoons of AMS into the soil around the base of each plant. Water thoroughly after applying to allow the nutrients to reach the root zone.

3. Timing AMS can be applied throughout the growing season, but for best results, apply in spring and early summerwhen plants are actively growing. For lawns, apply in early spring to give your grass a boost as it comes out of winter dormancy.

Benefits of Using Ammonium Sulfate

• Quick Green-Up: AMS delivers nitrogen that helps lawns and plants green up quickly.
• Improved Plant Growth: Sulfur in AMS helps improve overall plant growth and health, making it essential for a well-rounded fertilization plan.
• pH Adjustment: AMS slightly acidifies the soil, which is beneficial for plants that prefer more acidic growing conditions.
• Cost-Effective: AMS is an affordable and highly effective fertilizer, making it a popular choice for homeowners and farmers alike.
