Potato Review

Further advantages include · Improved photosynthesis on all crops (Magnesium & sulphur) · Improved shelf life and reduced storage cost · Reduction in sugars/acrylamide Autumn applications Based on commercial experience and trials since Polysulphate was launched in 2016, ICL UK recommends autumn applications to ensure efficient uptake of available nutrients. Trials on winter wheat have shown a 40% increase in phosphate uptake and 28% more nitrogen taken up. In part this efficient use of available nutrients is aided by the prolonged release of sulphur from Polysulphate- based products over around 50 days, compared to release over five to 10 days with products such as ammonium sulphate and sulphate of potash. “After autumn treatment, crops develop larger and more robust roots so they grow away faster in the spring and are able to produce higher yields and improved quality,” Scott said. “We recommend autumn and spring applications for winter crops. On average, arable yield increases have been: 10% in cereals; 12% in potatoes; 13% in oilseed rape and 22% in peas. Improved quality parameters include longer shelf life for vegetables. Higher oil percentage in oilseed rape and reduced sugars/ acrylamide in wheat and potatoes.” Polysulphate is available to use as a straight, or in blend.
