Product Description
Diammonium phosphate (DAP) is the worlds most popular phosphorus fertilizer. Due to its high nutrient content and excellent physical properties, it is a popular choice for farming and other applications.
Diammonium phosphate (DAP), a water-soluble salt of ammonium phosphate, is produced by the reaction of ammonia with phosphoric acid. The substance is widely used as a fertilizer when applied to plant food. It is also used as a fire retardant, a yeast nutrient in wine making and in brewing mead.
Superior Nutrient DeliveryDAP achieves optimal crop nutrition with its high nitrogen and phosphorus content. Its quick release and complete water solubility mean nutrients are rapidly available to plants, supporting vigorous growth and robust yield. The granularity and purity of this product suit both large-scale farms and specialty crop plots.
Flexible Application for Diverse CropsFarmers benefit from DAPs adaptability to various soil conditions and plant types. Recommended dosages can be tailored for specific crops, making it indispensable in crop management programs. DAP is especially favored for cereals, vegetables, and fruits, promoting root development and plant strength.
Convenient Packing & StorageDAP is supplied in durable 25kg or 50kg woven bags, ensuring ease of handling during transportation and storage. For best results, the fertilizer should be stored in a cool, dry place, maintaining granule integrity and maximizing shelf life of up to two years.
FAQs of DAP- Diammonium Phosphate:
Q: How should Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) be used in agricultural applications?
A: DAP should be applied based on the recommended dosage for specific crops or soil types. Its quick-release formulation makes it suitable for basal fertilizer application before planting or during early crop growth.
Q: What are the main benefits of using DAP fertilizer?
A: DAP provides a balanced supply of nitrogen (18%) and phosphorus (46% as P2O5), stimulating root growth, crop establishment, and overall plant health. Its high purity and solubility ensure fast nutrient uptake and improved yields.
Q: When is the optimal time to apply DAP to crops?
A: DAP is most effective when applied at the start of the planting season as a base fertilizer or during early growth stages. Timing the application ensures nutrients are accessible as plants begin active development.
Q: Where can DAP be stored safely to maintain its quality?
A: DAP should be kept in a cool, dry area, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Proper storage preserves its granule quality and extends its shelf life to two years.
Q: What is the process for DAP granule dissolution in water?
A: DAP is highly soluble in water; when granules are introduced to water, they rapidly dissolve, making nutrients immediately available for plant absorption.
Q: Is DAP suitable for all crop types and soils?
A: Yes, DAP is widely compatible with diverse crops and soil conditions. Dosage can be adjusted as per crop and soil recommendations to optimize agricultural outcomes.
