Wheat Fertilizer Blend

Wheat Fertilizer Blend (18-10-10 + 4% S) is a sulphur-enriched compound formulated specifically for bread wheat quality. Sulphur drives the synthesis of cysteine and methionine — the amino acids responsible for gluten strength and baking quality. Without adequate sulphur, even high-protein wheat produces weak gluten that fails mill specifications. This formulation delivers nitrogen for protein content, phosphorus for root establishment, potassium for lodging resistance, and sulphur for the disulfide bonds that give bread dough its elasticity and rise. The standard specification for milling wheat across Central and Western Europe.

The 4% sulphur (as SO₄²⁻) is immediately plant-available, driving cysteine and methionine synthesis during the grain-filling period when protein deposition determines flour quality. Nitrogen (18%) supports tiller survival, ear number, and grain protein content — the key factor determining wheat grade and price premium. The N:S ratio of 4.5:1 matches wheat’s metabolic requirement for balanced amino acid production. Potassium strengthens straw and reduces lodging risk, while phosphorus supports root activity for late-season nutrient capture.
