Phosphate
Phosphate is a natural form of phosphorus. Exploitation of inorganic phosphate is performing in order to provide raw materials for agriculture and industry. In environmental terms, due to its important role in biological systems, phosphate represents a highly demanded resource.
TSP
Inorganic, simple, solid phosphate fertilizer which can be used for nutrition of all plant species and in all soil types.
Triple superphosphate or concentrated powdered superphosphate is produced by reacting phosphoric acid with crude phosphates and contains phosphorus in the form of: monocalcium phosphate Ca(H2PO4)2H2O, orthophosphoric acid H3PO4, dicalcium phosphate CaHPO42H2O, tricalcium phosphate Ca3(PO4)2, iron phosphate, aluminum phosphate, etc. It is used as a mineral fertilizer in agriculture, and, in industry, it is used as a raw material for the production of mixed and complex fertilizers.
TSP in a granular form is a mineral fertilizer produced by granulating powdered triple superphosphate.
SSP
SSP is a mixture of the salts of phosphoric and sulfuric acids, suitable for cultivation of all crops.
Powdered superphosphate is a mineral fertilizer produced by reacting sulfuric acid with crude phosphates. It contains phosphorus in the form of monocalcium phosphate Ca(H2PO4)22H2O, phosphoric acid, dicalcium phosphate Ca2HPO42H2O, triclacium phosphate Ca3(PO4)2, iron phosphate, aluminum phosphate, etc. It is used as a mineral phosphate fertilizer unit in agriculture, and, in industry, it is used for the production of mixed and complex fertilizers.
NPK
Complex fertilizers must contain three nutritious elements (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium). In addition to these basic elements they may also contain micro elements: B, Zn, Mn, C1, Mo, Fe, etc. or pesticides and other agents that, as supplements, may help the growth and the development of plants.
In the production of complex mineral fertilizers, it is achieved that every single granule contains nutrients in the same ratio, and this allows the maximum consumption by plants.
Ammoniacal nitrogen – the most accessible form that is directly taken into dry matter by young plants.
Phosphorus – serves a constitutive role since it is a part of many organic compounds found in plants. Phosphorus is extremely important for the processes of fertilization in plants as well as for good rooting and strengthening the root system.
Potassium-affects photosynthesis, transport of nutrients, accumulation of carbohydrates, water regime, plants’ resistance to low temperatures and diseases. In the first part of vegetation it is significant for plant growth, whereas in the second part, it affects the quality of the fruit.
Sulfur – serves an important role in the plants’ resistance to low temperatures and drought. In soil, it dissolves inaccessible phosphorus thus increasing the concentration of accessible forms of phosphorus to the young root of a plant.
This complex mineral fertilizer is used for the nutrition of all plant species (especially corn, wheat and sunflower) and in all soil types.
Urea
Carbamide – urea is an organic compound with the chemical formula CO(NH2)2 . It is produced from liquid ammonia and gaseous carbon dioxide. It is used as a nitrogen fertilizer in agriculture for the production of chemical intermediates, stabilizers in explosives, glues and for other purposes.
It is manufactured in the forms of granules, crystals or a white powder, of slightly ammoniacal odor. It is soluble in water, ethanol and benzene. It reacts with alkali and forms salts with strong acids.
MAP
Dual NP fertilizer with a high phosphorus content and sufficient amounts of nitrogen:
Monoammonium phosphate is used in agriculture as a mineral fertilizer, and in industry, it is used for the production of complex and mixed fertilizers as well as for the production of mineral animal feed supplements and for other purposes.
