Description
DAP – Diammonium Phosphate (18-46-0)
DAP – Diammonium Phosphate (18-46-0) is a widely used, high-analysis phosphate fertilizer that supplies Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) for strong root development, early plant growth, and improved crop establishment. It is one of the most efficient sources of phosphorus, making it especially valuable during the initial growth stages of crops.
Nitrogen in DAP supports healthy vegetative growth and chlorophyll formation, while phosphorus plays a key role in root development, energy transfer (ATP), and overall plant metabolism. DAP dissolves easily in soil moisture, making nutrients readily available to plants and improving nutrient-use efficiency. Its slightly alkaline reaction at the point of application helps reduce soil acidity around the fertilizer zone.
DAP – Diammonium Phosphate is suitable for basal application in a wide range of crops and soil types. It is commonly used in cereals, pulses, oilseeds, and cash crops to improve yield, plant vigor, and overall productivity.
