Description

MAP fertilizer supplies high phosphorus for root and crop establishment.

Key Specifications & Composition
Nutrient Analysis: Contains 11% Nitrogen (N) in the ammoniacal form and 52% Phosphorus (P₂O₅).
Water Solubility: Highly soluble, making nutrients immediately available to plants upon contact with soil moisture.
pH Level: Moderately acidic (around pH 4.5), which enhances phosphorus availability in neutral and high-alkaline soils. 

Core Benefits for Crops
Root Development: High phosphorus content is critical for energy transfer (ATP) and vigorous root growth.
Seedling Safety: Unlike DAP (18-46-0), MAP releases less free ammonia, significantly reducing the risk of “fertilizer burn” to germinating seeds.
Nitrogen Stability: The ammoniacal nitrogen is resistant to leaching and improves the plant’s ability to take up phosphorus. 

Application Methods
Starter Fertilizer: Often applied in a band near the seed at planting to give young plants a “jump start”.
Broadcasting: Can be spread across the field and incorporated into the soil via tillage before sowing.
Custom Blending: Its uniform granule size makes it an ideal base for Custom Dry Blends with other nutrients.
