Bio - Sul

[furrowtickler]

Going to try 450 acres this fall if they show up. Anyone on here familiar with it?
At $.26 a pound / ac for sulfur over 5 years we thought we would try it .
Hearing lots of positive results .
Been mostly used in southern Alberta - Calgary area the past 3-4 years .
Very interesting product , I have been following it the past year or so .

I think it is some sort of industrial waste product from the oil and gas industry which is then mixed with a bit of compost. I think it is 75-80 percent sulfur and about 10 percent compost not sure what the other ~10 percent is

Bio-Sul is very interesting. I love the concept using compost mixed with sulphur stripped off the oil biz.

We have a quarter applied already. Would have done more but most of our canola is on rented land and given that it lasts longer than the term of the leases we're not using it without certainty of tenure.

Carlyle's applied ours and did a great job.

And I could be wrong about the sulfur component being an industrial waste product, Someone please correct me if I am.

No, it's organic waste compost from grocery stores as the active carrier. From waste produce

Ahh , sorry I am wrong - your right on the sulfur part from industry waste

Is it $.26/actual pound? does that include application? Seems expensive for elemental. AMS in only .35 right now and far superior product

[PrairieDude]

Is this a similar program as the back to your roots agronomy package?

This is what's at the composting site outside of Acme is it not? Big green piles.

I believe the sulfur they start with needs the compost as a carrier for even distribution and to lose combustability. Pencils here over 5 yrs. But only on owned. Cancelled this years. OM a tiny bonus.
