Product Information

Full details

This Levington Sulphate of Ammonia is ideal for gardeners looking to boost green, leafy growth in their plants, particularly vegetables, shrubs, and trees. Its primary benefit is providing a concentrated source of nitrogen for rapid foliage development. A caveat to keep in mind is that it primarily addresses nitrogen needs, and balanced plant growth requires other essential nutrients like phosphorus and potassium.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the main benefit of Sulphate of Ammonia?

Its main benefit is providing a high concentration of nitrogen, which is essential for promoting rapid green foliage growth in plants.

How much product should I use?

The recommended application rate is 35g per square meter for all uses, including vegetable gardens and around established plants.

Can I use this on all my plants?

Yes, it can be used on anything green that requires leafy growth, including leafy vegetables, shrubs, trees, and lawns. However, remember it's nitrogen-focused.

When is the best time to apply it?

You can use it when preparing new beds, planting out young plants, or around established plants during their growing season when you want to stimulate leafy growth.

Do I need to combine it with other fertilizers?

While it's effective for nitrogen, plants also need phosphorus and potassium for balanced growth. It's recommended to use this product in combination with fertilizers like sulphate of potash or superphosphate.

What happens if I use too much?

Over-application can lead to nutrient burn on plant foliage and roots. Always measure carefully and water in well after application.

Is it safe for young plants?

Yes, it is suitable for use when planting out new and young plants to encourage initial leafy development, provided it is applied at the correct dosage and watered in.

Troubleshooting

Yellowing leaves on plants

This could indicate a nitrogen deficiency. Apply Levington Sulphate of Ammonia at the recommended rate (35g per m²) and water in well. Ensure other nutrients are also adequately supplied.

Plants showing stunted growth

Check for adequate water and light. If soil is deficient, apply Levington Sulphate of Ammonia to encourage vegetative growth, but also consider adding phosphorus and potassium sources for overall health.

Granules not dissolving

Ensure thorough watering after application. If granules remain on the surface, they will not be available to the plant roots and may scorch foliage.

Skin irritation after handling

Wash affected area immediately with soap and water. Always wear gloves when handling garden chemicals.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly promotes rapid green foliage development.
  • Easy-to-use granular formulation for straightforward application.
  • Effective for a wide range of plants, especially leafy greens and woody plants.
  • Can be used during initial bed preparation and throughout the growing season.

Cons

  • Primarily provides nitrogen; requires supplementation with phosphorus and potassium for balanced growth.
  • Over-application can lead to excessive leafy growth at the expense of flowers or fruits.
  • Requires careful measurement to avoid potential nutrient burn.
  • Not a complete plant food on its own; needs to be part of a broader feeding strategy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application Instructions:

  1. Measure Carefully: Use the recommended dosage of 35g per square meter.
  2. Even Distribution: Spread the granules evenly over the soil surface around the base of plants, avoiding direct contact with stems or leaves.
  3. Watering: Water the area thoroughly after application to help the nutrients dissolve and reach the plant roots.

Compatibility:

  • Ideal For: Leafy vegetables (lettuce, cabbage, spinach), shrubs, trees, lawns, and young plants.
  • Use In Combination With: Sulphate of potash or superphosphate for balanced plant nutrition. This product addresses nitrogen deficiency; other nutrients are required for flowering, fruiting, and overall plant health.

Care and Storage:

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and incompatible materials.
  • Keep out of reach of children and pets.
  • Wear gloves during application to avoid skin contact.
