Ammonium thiosulfate contains nitrogen in the ammonium form and thiosulfate sulfur, which exists in two oxidation states. This makes Sulphur more accessible to many plants. When applied to soils, ammonium thiosulfate decomposes into two parts: sulfate sulfur (SO4) 2 and elemental sulfur (S0). Sulphate sulfur is available to the plants immediately after application, but elemental sulfur must undergo a process of oxidation to sulphate, and therefore is available to the plants only after a certain time. In this way, Sulphur is evenly accessible for several weeks.

Ammonium thiosulfate is compatible with basic liquid fertilizers such as UAN, RKD, as well as with plant protection products.

The combined application of UAN and ATS improves Nitrogen assimilation in plants, which helps to a decrease in nitrogen losses from the soil, increases the content of ammonium and nitrate forms of nitrogen, increases phosphates mobility and improves the structure of sod-podzolic soil. The use of ammonium thiosulfate in various types of irrigation systems improves economic, environmental and agronomic efficiency.
