Definition and Areas of Use :
This substance is water soluble and dissolves quickly in sufficiently moist soil. Growers apply granular mono ammonium phosphate near the growing roots of the plant or in surface bands. In addition, it is widely spread on the land and mixed into the soil. No special precautions are required for this substance. Mono ammonium phosphate should not be mixed with calcium or magnesium fertilizers used as a foliar spray or added to irrigation water.
It has various areas of use in agriculture. Since all the nitrogen in its fertilizer is ammonia nitrogen, it is controlled for plants. If this substance is used in drip irrigation, if the pH value of the fertilized water is created slightly and acidic, all the necessary substances given will be easily taken by plants.
Mono Ammonium Phosphate is a widely used phosphorus and nitrogen source. These substances used in the fertilizer industry are found in the content of solid fertilizers. The mono ammonium phosphate manufacturing process can be done by applying simple methods. As a method; ammonia ratio and phosphoric acid are reacted. After this process, the solidification process is carried out. The other method is the mixing process with different fertilizers. Mono ammonium phosphate fertilizer is the fertilizer that contains the highest amount of phosphate among phosphorus fertilizers. It does not contain any harmful substances and does not harm the plants. Applications related to ammonium phosphate are made to the soil before planting. In addition, it is used in the main fertilization and pre-planting fertilization of fruit crops, grape vines, plants and flowers. This substance is stored in closed, cold and dry buildings. It is transported in packaged form or in bulk.
