Ammonium Thiosulfate ATS=™

ATS=™ Needed NOW More Than Ever

Hydrite produces ammonium thiosulfate (ATS=™) in Waterloo, IA and Terre Haute, IN. ATS= is an efficient and easy source of the sulfur necessary for crop growth. Sulfur is an important component of protein synthesis, nitrogen metabolism, and photosynthesis and when in short supply can lead to yellowed leaves or stunted and spindly crops. Some of the benefits of Hydrite’s ATS= fertilizers include:

Compatible with most liquid fertilizers
Contains equal amounts of sulfate-S and elemental-S
Sulfate-S is immediately available
Elemental-S is released through the season
Reduces the loss of nitrogen when mixed with UAN solutions
Slows the nitrification process
Ammonium thiosulfate is non-corrosive
Can be applied through irrigation water
Lower freeze point than competitive products with lower quality raw materials

In a study performed in conjunction with Dr. Jay Goos at North Dakota State University, adding a 5% blend (v/v) of ATS= with UAN solution inhibited nitrification by approximately 50%, and a 1% blend inhibited urease by 15-35%.

Ammonium thiosulfate can help growers improve the health of their crops, producing higher yields for foods like corn, soybeans, and potatoes.
