Sulfur Bentonite

We often get the comment/question about AMS vs SB. Here’s a take on that.

AMS has sulphate, which is SO4, it is immediately leachable in the soil but it also immediately available. SB is elemental and must be oxidized in order to be absorbed by the plant. It will give around 30-40% of the available sulfur during the current season but will also build S content in the soil for future plantings. It helps soil health by feeding the soil microbes that oxidize the sulphur, AMS does not help soil health. SB is a slow release product and AMS is immediate release. SB will give the plant sulfur throughout the growing season while AMS offers only immediate effects.
