RE: Poly 423 Aug 2018 13:13
I am unsure wether direct marketing of Poly4 is being considered, however they are doing a lot of research into the benefits and application opportunities. IMO I think it is more likely they will Partner with a Company that already has a direct route to market. The profits would be enhanced for SM if they did market the product direct and as they grow this maybe something they should look at. I think Poly4 as an important plant nutrition source will prove to have a contributory effect on Crop Yeilds across the spectrum.
One of the most beneficial nutrients of Poly 4 is Sulphur, Sulphur used to be collected in the Cloud formations as they passed over the Industrial North West, however cleaner air and less emissions have stopped this free supply of Sulpher falling with the rain. Presently Sulphur can be Sprayed directly onto crops but the timing of this makes it highly speculative.
Many agronomists now consider sulphur to be the second most important nutrient after nitrogen. Certainly sulphur is an essential nutrient, closely linked with nitrogen in biological processes with both elements forming an inseparable team.
Why is sulphur such an important nutrient?
Sulphur is a fundamental ingredient of life on earth. Sulphur is present in all crops and plays an important role in plant metabolism. Sulphur is essential for the formation of plant proteins, amino acids, some vitamins and enzymes.
Most compound fertilisers containing sulphur also contain nitrogen, highlighting the close link between these two elements. Sulphur is part of an enzyme required for nitrogen uptake and lack of it can severely hamper nitrogen metabolism. Together with nitrogen, sulphur enables the formations of amino acids needed for protein synthesis. It is found in fatty acids and vitamins and has an important impact on quality and taste or smell of Crops.
