Single Super Phosphate (SSP) fertilizer Available

Single Super Phosphate (SSP) fertilizer is an excellent source of three plant nutrients. The P component reacts in soil similarly to other soluble fertilizers. The presence of both P and sulfur (S) in it can be an agronomic advantage where both of these nutrients are deficient. In agronomic studies where SSP is demonstrated to be superior to other P fertilizers, it is usually due to the S and/or Ca that it contains. When locally available, the product has found widespread use for fertilizing pastures where both P and S are needed. As a source of P alone, it often costs more than other more concentrated fertilizers, therefore it has declined in popularity.

Plants need the phosphorus element as a building material for the formation of certain proteins and other organic substances. This element also plays a role in various physiological processes in the plant, such as assimilation and respiration. That is why a lack of phosphorus has a very negative effect on the yield of crops. The amount of phosphorus fertilization depends on the amount of plant-available phosphorus in the soil and the requirement of the crop.

Phosphorus content: 7 to 9% (16 to 20% P2O5)
