Physical Description:

Ammo 31 and 36 are fertilisers made up from a blend of ammonium sulphate and urea, where Ammo 31 is at a ratio of 60:40 while Ammo 36 is at a ratio of 40:60.


Uses:

Ammo 31 and 36 are mainly used in the late winter/early spring on dairy pasture in Northland where soil sulphate levels are low and rainfall is high.


Benefits:

By applying Ammo 31 or 36 in the late winter pasture will receive the necessary nitrogen and sulphate for the upcoming spring season for optimal pasture growth for dairy production. Of the two fertilisers, Ammo 36 is more commonly used, due to its higher nitrogen content.


Application:

Ammo 31 and 36 is typically applied in August at a rate of approximately 100kg/ha (equivalent to 30-40kg N/ha). Most farmers will follow this several weeks later with standard urea applications to continued pasture growth to meet the requirements of the dairy herd.


Storage & Handling:

As urea and ammonium sulphate can readily absorb moisture, store fertiliser in a clean, dry place to avoid hardening. Also, clean drills and spreaders after use to avoid corrosion.
