Fast-Acting Nitrogen with Added Sulfur — Ideal for High pH Soils.
21-0-0 Ammonium Sulfate delivers 21% fast-release nitrogen along with 24% sulfur, making it an excellent choice for lawns that need quick green-up while improving nutrient availability in alkaline soils.
This is a preferred nitrogen source for experienced lawn enthusiasts and professionals who want reliable performance without the volatility concerns of urea.
Why Choose Ammonium Sulfate Over Urea?
Lower volatilization risk compared to urea
Helps lower soil pH over time in alkaline soils
Improves iron availability for deeper green color
Excellent for spoon-feeding programs
Fully soluble for liquid applications
If you have high pH soil or struggle with yellowing turf despite fertilizing, ammonium sulfate is often the better nitrogen source.
Best Used For
Correcting nitrogen deficiency
Summer feeding programs
High pH or alkaline soils
Liquid lawn applications
Boosting color before events or peak growth periods
Application Rates
Maximum recommended nitrogen rate: 1 lb N per 1,000 sq ft per application.
1 lb N = 4.75 lbs of 21-0-0 per 1,000 sq ft
0.5 lb N = 2.4 lbs per 1,000 sq ft
Water in after application for best results.
Liquid or Granular
Dissolves easily for spray applications
Can be applied granular with a broadcast spreader
