Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) Production from April 2015 to August 2015

Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) is most widely used phosphorus fertilizer in the world. DAP is a balanced fertilizer. Most common commercial fertilizers contain phosphate, which is an essential nutrient for stimulating root growth and plant health. DAP is made from two common constituents in the fertilizer industry – manufactured by reacting phosphoric acid and ammonia and contains two ammonia molecules. In alkaline soil conditions, one of the ammonia molecules in DAP will revert to ammonia, making it an excellent fit for low pH or alkaline soil. It is popular because of its relatively high nutrient content and its excellent physical properties.
