Conditions For Mixing Although Ravensdown RPR generally mixes well with other products, the Sulphur Super 30 component of RPR Sulphur Super is not compatible with the following:
Urea or Magnesium Oxide
Sulphur Super 30 can be compatible with the following under certain circumstances:
Flexi-N (magnesium coated Urea), Ammonium Sulphate Granular, Potassium Nitrate, Ammonium Nitrate, Mono Ammonium Phosphate (MAP), Cropmaster DAP or Calcium Ammonium Nitrate (CAN)
Segregation may occur when mixed with product with differences of particle size.

Slow release phosphate fertiliser suitable for maintenance applications
Suits hill and high country farms with good rainfall and low soil pH
Contains a 60:40 mixture of reactive phosphate rock and Sulphur Super 30 and as such contains slow release phosphate, calcium and elemental sulphur
Slow release fertiliser which may have environmental benefits where high rainfall and surface runoff occurs subsequent to fertiliser application
Requires soil acids to dissolve the rock phosphate to plant available forms
RPR Sulphur Super is a slow release fertiliser which may have environmental benefits where high rainfall and surface runoff occurs subsequent to fertiliser application. However, once the P and S components are dissolved in soil solution the fate of these nutrients are no different than for soluble P and S fertilisers. RPR requires soil acids to dissolve the rock phosphate to plant available forms. The lower the soil pH and the finer the particles the quicker this reaction takes place. Elemental S is slow release sulphur as it requires the action of Thiobacillus bacteria in the soil to convert the elemental S to sulphate S and the speed of this dissolution is moisture and temperature dependent as well as faster for finer particles.
Uses
RPR Sulphur Super is a 60:40 mixture of reactive phosphate rock (currently Ben Guerir) and Sulphur Super 30 and as such contains slow release phosphate, calcium and elemental sulphur. This is not suitable for capital fertiliser application but best suited for maintenance applications. It is most suited to hill and high country farms at maintenance soil fertility levels where rainfall is good to high and soil pH levels below optimum.
Application rates and advice
Spreading rates for RPR 15S vary greatly mostly depending on Phosphate and Sulphure requirement. Actual spreading rates will vary according to farm type, climate, productivity and soil type. Soil testing and fertiliser plans are available to ensure you use the right product at the correct rate. Call our Customer Centre for information.
Due to the fine particle size of this product special care is needed to achieve an even spread. Spreader calibration should be carefully checked and the bout width will probably need to be reduced.
As with most solid fertilisers, RPR 15S can be stored over a season as long as it is kept in a cool, dry, well ventilated area.
