DAP
DAP stands for Diammonium Phosphate. This granular agricultural fertilizer supplies nitrogen and phosphate nutrients and is described as DAP 18–46–0.
Diammonium Phosphate
DAP is a water-soluble fertilizer with a minimum nitrogen content of 18% and a minimum available phosphate content, expressed as P₂O₅, of 46%. The supplied technical data describes a cola-brown granular, free-flowing material.
Key characteristics
- Nitrogen as N: 18% minimum
- Available phosphate as P₂O₅: 46% minimum
- Water-soluble P₂O₅: 41.4% minimum
- Cola-brown granular solid
Typical applications
Agricultural fertilizer
A source of nitrogen and phosphate nutrients for agricultural use.
Crop nutrient programmes
Used where nitrogen and phosphate are required, with application guided by crop requirements and soil assessment.
