Sulphuric acid
Sulphuric acid
Sulphuric Acid (H₂SO₄) is a strong mineral acid widely used in agriculture as a soil amendment, water pH regulator, and nutrient enhancer. It helps in neutralizing alkaline soils, improves the availability of phosphorus and micronutrients, and supplies sulphur in a readily usable form to plants. In fertigation, sulphuric acid not only provides nutrients but also cleans irrigation lines by dissolving carbonates and bicarbonates, making it an essential input for modern farming practices.

Key Features & Benefits
1)Acts as a soil acidifier to correct alkalinity and improve nutrient uptake.
2)Supplies plant-available sulphur, essential for amino acid and protein synthesis.
3)Enhances phosphorus and micronutrient solubility in calcareous soils.
4)Prevents and removes clogging in drip irrigation systems.
5)Improves fertilizer efficiency by reducing nutrient fixation.
6)Suitable for a wide range of crops, soils, and irrigation systems.

Applications
1)Soil Treatment: Neutralizes alkalinity and improves nutrient availability.
2)Fertigation: Supplies sulphur and lowers water pH for better fertilizer efficiency.
3)Irrigation System Maintenance: Dissolves carbonate and bicarbonate deposits in drip lines.
4)Nutrient Solubilizer: Increases phosphorus and micronutrient uptake.
5)Compost Enrichment: Aids in decomposition and enriches organic matter with sulphur.

Usage Note
1)Soil Application: 2–5 L per acre through irrigation water (as per soil alkalinity levels).
2)Drip System Cleaning: Use 0.5–1% solution to flush deposits in irrigation lines.
3)Always add acid to water slowly, never water to acid, to avoid violent reactions.
4)Do not mix with fertilizers in concentrated form.
5)Follow soil test results and agronomist recommendations for correct dosage.

Safety & Handling
1)Highly corrosive – handle only with acid-resistant gloves, goggles, and protective clothing.
2)Avoid skin or eye contact; do not inhale vapors.
3)Store in a cool, well-ventilated, corrosion-resistant area away from incompatible substances.
4)Ensure proper labeling and sealed containers during storage and transport.
5)In case of spillage, neutralize with lime or soda ash before disposal.
6)Keep out of reach of children, food, and animal feed.
