Calcium Thiosulfate (CTS) fertilizer is a versatile and potent nutrient source, widely used in agriculture and horticulture. Composed of calcium (Ca) and thiosulfate (S₂O₃), CaTS fertilizer is valued for its distinct properties and advantages for plant health.

Calcium in CTS plays a crucial role in cell wall formation and overall plant structure, helping to strengthen plants and support their growth. It promotes root development, enhances nutrient absorption efficiency, and supports various physiological processes, including enzyme activity and photosynthesis.

Thiosulfate sulfur in CTS serves as an easily accessible source of sulfur, an essential nutrient for protein synthesis and chlorophyll formation. Sulfur deficiency can lead to poor crop quality and reduced yields, making CTS particularly useful in sulfur-deficient soils or during periods of high crop demand.

CTS fertilizer can be applied through fertigation or foliar spraying, ensuring precise and efficient delivery to the plants. It is compatible with a wide range of fertilizers and agrochemicals, making it flexible for use in diverse crop management practices.

Overall, Calcium Thiosulfate (CTS) fertilizer is prized for its dual-action benefits, providing both calcium and sulfur, which contribute to improved plant growth, enhanced yield, and better quality crops in agricultural environments.

  1. Enhances Soil Structure: Calcium promotes the formation and stabilization of soil aggregates, improving soil structure, porosity, and aeration. This facilitates better root growth and water infiltration.
  2. Boosts Nutrient Absorption: Calcium assists in the absorption of other essential nutrients by the roots, especially nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. This synergistic effect enhances overall plant nutrition.
  3. Strengthens Plant Cell Walls: Calcium is a vital component of cell walls and membranes. Its presence fortifies cell walls, improving plant structure and enhancing resistance to diseases and pests.
  4. Provides Essential Sulfur: Sulfur is crucial for synthesizing amino acids, proteins, and enzymes. It is also necessary for chlorophyll production and photosynthesis. Calcium Thiosulfate offers sulfur in a form that is easily accessible to plants.
  5. Reduces Soil Salinity: Calcium aids in replacing sodium ions from soil particles, reducing soil salinity and lessening the negative effects of high sodium levels on plants.
  6. Promotes Root Growth: Calcium is essential for root elongation and development. A strong root system improves water and nutrient uptake, leading to healthier plants.
  7. Increases Crop Yield and Quality: Adequate calcium and sulfur levels enhance crop yield and quality. Fruits and vegetables benefit from better firmness, longer shelf life, and enhanced resistance to post-harvest diseases.
  8. Works Well with Other Fertilizers: Calcium Thiosulfate is compatible with many other fertilizers and can be combined with other nutrient solutions to ensure a balanced supply of essential nutrients.

Recommended Stage:

  1. Calcium Thiosulfate (CaTS) fertilizer should be applied via fertigation or foliar spraying. For fertigation, apply during active growth phases to ensure adequate calcium and sulfur supply for optimal plant uptake. Dilute CaTS in irrigation water and apply evenly across the field. For foliar application, spray during early morning or late afternoon to maximize absorption through the leaves. Follow recommended dosage based on crop type, soil conditions, and nutrient needs to achieve balanced nutrition and maximize crop yield and quality.

Recommended Crops:

  1. Vegetables: Tomatoes, Peppers, Cucumbers, Lettuce, Spinach
  2. Fruit Trees: Apples, Citrus fruits (Oranges, Lemons), Grapes, Stone fruits (Peaches, Plums)
  3. Field Crops: Corn, Soybeans, Wheat, Cotton
  4. Specialty Crops: Potatoes, Onions, Strawberries, Melons
