16. Virtual Academy for the Semi Arid Tropics Course on Pearl Millet Production Practices Module V Pearl Millet Plant Nutrition Your are right. Ammonium sulfate in addition to nitrogen also contains sulfur (16%), which will be needed to pearl millet in soils deficient in sulfur. Continue

17. Virtual Academy for the Semi Arid Tropics Course on Pearl Millet Production Practices Module V Pearl Millet Plant Nutrition Your answer is not correct. Ammonium sulfate is neither cheaper or higher in nitrogen than urea. The correct answer is: Ammonium sulfate in addition to nitrogen also contains sulfur (16%), which will be needed to pearl millet in soils deficient in sulfur. Continue

18. Virtual Academy for the Semi Arid Tropics Course on Pearl Millet Production Practices Module V Pearl Millet Plant Nutrition You are right. The need to apply potassium to pearl millet depends on its availability in the soil. So, soil testing information is required for taking the decision. If the soil test reveals that the available potassium is less than 150 kg of K 2 O/ha, then there is a need to apply potassium in that field. Continue
