Granular Sulphur Supply
Product: Granular Sulphur
Also known as: Elemental Sulphur (Granular), Agricultural Grade Sulphur
Chemical formula: S (Elemental Sulphur)
Typical purity: 99.5% min (often 99.9%)
Granular Sulphur Overview
Granular sulphur is a refined form of elemental sulphur processed into uniform, free-flowing granules. It is used in agriculture as a sulphur nutrient and as a soil amendment to lower pH in alkaline soils. The granular form is described as offering superior handling, reduced dust and even distribution compared with powdered sulphur.
The existing text states that sulphur is an essential secondary macronutrient required for protein synthesis, enzyme activity, chlorophyll formation and overall crop quality, and that granular sulphur provides a slow, sustained release as soil microbes convert it into plant-available sulphate.

Key Benefits
- High sulphur concentration
- — Nearly pure elemental sulphur provides an efficient and concentrated nutrient source.
- Slow and sustained release
- — Microbial conversion ensures gradual availability throughout the growing season.
- Soil pH management
- — Helps acidify alkaline or neutral soils, improving the availability of other nutrients (especially phosphorus and micronutrients).
- Improves crop quality
- — Essential for protein content, oil synthesis (oilseeds), and flavour development.
- Easy handling
- — Granular form allows accurate spreading, blending, and reduced dust compared to powder.
- Versatile
- — Suitable for direct application or blending with other fertilizers.
Recommended Applications
- Highly suitable for:
- High-sulphur demanding crops: Canola/rapeseed, wheat, maize, sunflower, legumes, onion, garlic, and brassicas
- Sulphur-deficient soils (common in many intensive farming regions)
- Alkaline or high-pH soils requiring gradual acidification
- Pasture, forage, and horticultural crops
Packing and Shipping
- 50 kg moisture-resistant bags
- 1,000 kg jumbo bags (FIBC)

Storage and Handling
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from sources of ignition and strong oxidizers.
- Keep bags sealed and protected from moisture.
- Avoid dust accumulation; use appropriate personal protective equipment.
- Elemental sulphur is classified as a flammable solid — follow standard safety guidelines for storage and handling.
