MICROFERTILIZER ORAKUL SULFUR ACTIVE
- environmentally friendly, highly concentrated, liquid fertilizer, convenient and safe to use;
- due to its organic form, it penetrates better into plant tissues and is better absorbed;
- effectively eliminates sulfur deficiency in plants, does not cause leaf burns;
- positively affects plant resistance to diseases, such as Alternaria blight and Botrytis.
- due to a lack of sulfur, marble spots are observed on young leaves, and the color of the leaves ranges from yellow to red;
- upper leaves are first to experience the deficiency of sulfur.

Which soils are deficient in sulfur and other factors affecting its absorption
 |  |
The need in sulfur depends on the level of nitrogenous nutrition: the higher is the level of nitrogen, the more plants absorb sulfur. In spring, as a rule, sulfur content in the root zone of soil is low as sulfates are highly mobile.
The sulfur content also indirectly depends on the reserves of organic matter in the soil. In other words, if the soil is darker in color, then it is highly likely that it will have a higher level of sulfur content than light soil.
On sandy, sandy loam and light loam soils with low reserves of organic matter, the process of leaching of sulfur-containing compounds beyond the root-bearing layer occurs more intensively.
What to do in case of sulfur deficiency?
Due to the application of the microfertilizer ORAKUL® sulfur active, the following occurs:
- increases leaf area by 22%;
- increases disease resistance of plants by 28%;
- contributes to increase of protein and starch content in wheat, oil content in sunflower, soybeans and rapeseed;
- enhances root development;
- improves plant nutrition.
For the best effect is recommended to be applied in conjunction with the VIMPEL 2® plant growth stimulant.

1. INFORMATION FOR CONSUMERS: when applying the micronutrient fertilizer ORAKUL® sulfur active with the formulations, which acidify the aqueous solution (pH≤7), toxic hydrogen sulfide forms, which is firstly dangerous for field staff, and secondly leads to a slight decrease in the concentration of sulfur in the solution.
When mixing microfertilizers with metal-containing formulations (depending on the amount and type of the metal), the formation of a small amount of poorly water-soluble metal sulfides is possible. It should also be noted that finely dispersed sulfur may form sediment before the solution reaches the leaf surface. In this case, keep in mind that the mixing tool should be switched on during spraying.
The best option is to use the formulation ORAKUL® sulfur active and alkaline formulations as well as formulations that do not contain metal atoms simultaneously. In this case, when sprayed on a leaf surface, the aqueous solution containing sulfur microfertilizer begins to form active sulfur intensively and distributes evenly on a leaf surface.
The efficacy of the formulation and its ease of use depend on the application, storage and transportation conditions specified by the manufacturer.
2. COMPATIBILITY WITH OTHER FORMULATIONS: the micronutrient fertilizer is applied during the growing season either prophylactically or according to the diagnostics results based on the application regulations. It performs well in tank mixes with plant growth stimulator VIMPEL 2®. Recommended water temperature for a preparation of the working tank solution is 18 – 20 ºС (64.4 – 68 ºF). The micronutrient fertilizer is compatible as well with the pesticides that do not create an acidic environment in the spraying solution.
3. PREPARATION OF WORKING TANK SOLUTION:
Warning! Prior to starting preparation of a tank mix, always check the formulations for compatibility!
For this purpose take a container, pour in it some water (which is to be used for the main application), add the tank mix components in proportions, based on the field rates of consumption. After closing the container, mix the contents by shaking it 10-15 times. Evaluate the tank mixture visually twice: immediately after mixing and after the mixture has settled (in about 30 minutes). Incompatibility of formulations is indicated by their separation into layers, residuum occurrence, flocculation of the mixture, formation of sludge that does not disperse.
Attention! It is possible to use the formulation in hard water due to the water softener in its composition. At the same time, if there is high concentration of hardness salts and significant amount of water, it is possible that after some time there will be a slight separation of hardness salts in the form of gypsum (СаSO4٠2H2O). In this case, the amount of sulfur in the solution is slightly reduced. These processes in no way affect the solution usability or cause the possibility of spraying equipment failure, as the formulation is finely dispersed. When forming a tank mixture in hard water, we recommend spraying with the mixing mode turned on. After application of the tank mix, it is necessary to rinse the tank with water to prevent the overgrowth of gypsum crystals.
If there are no compatibility problems, prepare the working solution just before spraying (direct application). Shake the product thoroughly in the original package and pour it directly into the sprayer tank, which is to be previously filled with water to 2/3 of its volume. After this with the mixing mode turned on add the components of the tank mixture in sequence stated in the recommendations and finish the process with filling the tank with water. Stirring of the mixture should be continued throughout the period of its preparation, as well as during application.
Application rates of the spraying solution: field crops — 70-300 L/ha, vegetables — 300-400 L/ha, fruit crops and grapes — 800-1000 L/ha.

5. APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS: spraying should be done either early in the morning or in the evening, when the humidity level is high to avoid chemical leaf burn. The optimum air temperature is +10…+25 °С (50 — 77 ºF), wind speed up to 5 — 7 m/s depending on the sprayer type. It is not recommended carrying out spraying operations during foggy weather or in the presence of dew, which can lead to surface overflow of the solution and hence the reduction of the treatment efficiency. The spraying should be stopped 1.5 — 2 hours before the rain.
Attention! Use а freshly mixed solution. Do not store the prepared solution more than 24 hours.
6. STORAGE AND TRANSPORTATION: storage and transportation must be carried out in accordance with ГОСТ 14189 (National State Standard).
The formulation should be stored in a warehouse or storage building, designed specifically for this purpose. Storage area should be free of direct sunlight, moisture, pollution and mechanical damage to the container. Store at temperature above 0 ºС below +30 ºС (50 — 86 ºF), in the original closed package in an upright position, with the cap facing up in a cardboard box.
