Description

DAP 13S fertiliser is a 60:40 blend of DAP and Sulphur Super 30. DAP can vary in colour from light brown to black, while Sulphur Super can vary from pink to brown with yellow elemental S visible.

Uses and Benefits

DAP 13S is designed for permanent pastures where a high S content is required in balance with N and P.

It is a cost effective and good general pasture fertiliser providing readily available N in the ammonium form, P and S in similar proportions and more slowly available elemental S. It is often used in pastoral situations where potassium is not required, but relatively high S is required.

Application

DAP 13S is a mixture of two different products, therefore it is important to calibrate your equipment

Pastoral - 125-350kg/ha to boost pasture growth, 150-300kg/ha on hay/silage paddocks at closing. When DAP is mixed with any Superphosphate-based product (like DAP 13S) it has the propensity to become lumpy, even over short time periods.

Applications of DAP 13S should take place promptly. 

Note: It is recommended that this product is not bagged, as it can set up.

Storage and Handling

As DAP 13S can absorb moisture, storage should be avoided. Also, clean drills and spreaders after use to avoid corrosion.

DAP 13S is safe to handle and needs no special precautions to be taken.
