Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate

Colorless transparent tetragonal crystal. Soluble in water, slightly soluble in alcohol, insoluble in acetone.

Ammonium phosphate for agriculture is a water-soluble quick-acting compound fertilizer, which is suitable for a variety of crops and soils, and is also the most important basic raw material for the production of ternary compound fertilizer and BB fertilizer.

Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (ADP), also known as monoammonium phosphate (MAP), is a white, crystalline, water-soluble compound widely used as a fertilizer, fire retardant, and in industrial applications. It is a primary source of nitrogen and phosphorus for plants.

Applications

1. Agriculture:

   • Fertilizer:

     • Provides nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P₂O₅) to crops, enhancing root development and plant growth.

     • Suitable for all soil types and various crops.

     
     

   • Soil Conditioner:

     • Improves soil fertility and structure.

     
     

2. Fire Retardant:

   • Used in fire extinguishers and fireproofing materials due to its flame-retardant properties.

3. Industrial Use:

   • Component in the production of yeast and food-grade phosphates.

4. Laboratory Use:

   • Precursor in preparing phosphate buffer solutions.

Advantages

1. Nutrient-Rich:

   • Supplies nitrogen and phosphorus, essential for plant metabolism.

   
   

2. Water-Soluble:

   • Quickly dissolves for efficient nutrient uptake in plants.

   
   

3. Versatile:

   • Applicable in foliar feeding, fertigation, and direct soil application.

   
   

Usage Guidelines

1. Fertilizer Application:

   • Dosage: 2-5 kg/acre, depending on crop type and soil fertility.

   • Method: Apply directly to soil or through fertigation.

   
   

2. Storage:

   • Store in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight.

   
   

3. Safety:

   • Handle with gloves and avoid inhaling dust.

   
   

Benefits for Crops

• Encourages strong root development and early plant growth.

• Enhances flowering and fruiting stages.

• Improves resistance to environmental stress.

Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate is a reliable and efficient fertilizer for promoting healthy plant growth and improving crop yields.
