Diammonium Phosphate DAP Agricultural Fertilizer

DAP fertilizer, or Diammonium Phosphate, is a widely used granular fertilizer that provides plants with essential phosphorus and nitrogen. It 's a concentrated source of phosphate and is popular in agriculture for boosting plant growth, particularly during early development.

Here 's a more detailed look:

• Composition: DAP contains 18% nitrogen (N)and 46% phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5). 


• Function: It is a good source of phosphorus, a key nutrient for root development, flowering, and fruiting. The nitrogen in DAP also supports early plant growth and overall vigor. 


• Solubility: DAP is water-soluble, meaning it dissolves easily in the soil, making the nutrients readily available to plants. 


• Application: It can be applied directly to the soil or used as a component in fertilizer blends. 


• Benefits: DAP is known to promote strong root systems, improve crop yields, and enhance plant resistance to stress. 


• Environmental Considerations: While generally considered environmentally friendly, it 's important to monitor soil pH when using DAP as it can temporarily lower the pH in the immediate vicinity of the fertilizer granules. 


Coal

Coal is a combustible black or brownish-black sedimentary rock with a high amount of carbon and hydrocarbons. Coal is classified as a nonrenewable energy source because it takes millions of years to form. Coal contains the energy stored by plants that lived hundreds of millions of years ago in swampy forests.
