Sanger, California, USA

Key Conclusions
Polysulphate in the fall or spring showed positive yield responses vs GSP. However, granular Polysulphate (spring) resulted in statistically higher nut yield and economic returns.
In addition, compared to GSP, Polysulphate (both standard and granular) shows positive NUE and nut yield due to prolonged release of K, Ca, Mg.
Objective
To evaluate the performance of Polysulphate Standard, spring or fall applied, compared to the grower standard practice on almond in California.
