Ammonium sulfate [(NH4)2 SO4] is an inorganic salt which is one of the first and most commonly utilized nitrogen (N) fertilizers for crop productivity. It s becoming less common, but it s especially useful when both nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S) are needed. Its high solubility allows it to be used in a variety of agricultural applications. Ammonium sulfate has a variety of applications in industry. The ammonium ion is released in the soil and generates a little quantity of acid, which lowers the pH balance while providing vital n
Agriculture is a key part of the Irish landscape and has helped in the recovery of the economy over the last decade. Ireland exports the majority of its agricultural produce, with exports valued at over 14.5bn in 2020.
With world population projected to grow between now and 2050, Ireland is well positioned due to our productive soils and damp climate to produce food sustainably for an expanding world population. Agriculture is continuously evolving and will have to continue to evolve over the next number decades to match world food demands.
Currently one of biggest challenges along this road of evolution is climate change and cutting agricultural emissions to reduce such impacts as global warming in the years ahead. Climate change brings many changes to how we farm, eg adapting to changing weather patterns, such extremes as droughts and more frequent heavy rainfall events.
Counties that have seen the greatest level of dairy intensification will face tougher nitrates rules in the coming years, a Department of Agriculture official has warned.
Senior Department inspector Jack Nolan said dairy expansion in counties Cork, Tipperary, and Kilkenny has had an impact on water quality.
“People might say that 20 years ago we had the same number of stock, and we did, but they weren’t all localised, or in the Golden Vale, or the southeast of the country,” Nolan told a Fertilizer Association of Ireland webinar on Tuesday.
“And when we take actions in the future these actions will have to be targeted. There’s no point in asking somebody up in Roscommon or Mayo to cut back on fertiliser.”
Farmers have been “pushed down a road of intensification” because of lowering food prices over the last three decades, a top Department of Agriculture inspector has stated.
And it will now take a “whole of sector” approach to produce more environmentally-friendly food to meet the demands of current and future consumers.
Jack Nolan senior inspector at the Department made this point in his presentation on fertiliser use and the EU’s Green Deal during yesterday’s Fertilizer Association of Ireland’s spring scientific meeting.
Reflecting on pre-intensification farming practices in Ireland, Mr Nolan said farmers “used to do a lot more about soil science” when tractors were not as strong and when chemical fertilisers were not as cheap or as freely available.
