Ammonium Sulphate (AS)

admin — Fri, 01 May 2015 15:38:52 +0000

Ammonium Sulphate (AS) is an inorganic salt with a number of commercial uses. The most common use is as a soil fertilizer. It contains: 21% Nitrogen (N) & 24% Sulphur (S).

The primary use of ammonium sulfate is as a fertilizer for alkaline soils. In the soil the ammonium ion is released and forms a small amount of acid, lowering the pH balance of the soil, while contributing essential nitrogen for plant growth.

It is also used as an agricultural spray adjuvant for water soluble insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides. There, it functions to bind iron and calcium cations that are present in both well water and plant cells. It is particularly effective as an adjuvant for 2,4-D (amine), glyphosate, and glufosinate herbicides.

Christmas Island Rock Phosphate (CIRP)

Christmas Island Rock Phosphate (CIRP) was formed by slow phosphatisation of the parent sedimentary and volcanic rocks over millions of years. The Island is made up of volcanic rocks interbedded with coral limestone, and has been subjected to several phases of uplifting, forming a central plateau at an elevation of 200-350 metres above sea level.

Christmas Island Rock Phosphate’s combination of fluorohydroxyapatite, calcium iron and aluminium phosphates make it a highly sought-after phosphate product, which provides benefits in a range of fertiliser manufacturing processes. Its relatively high total phosphorus oxide (P2O5) level improves the analysis of many straight and compound fertilisers, and its iron and aluminium content improves the granule strength of a range of acidulated fertilisers. In addition, its reactive characteristics provide advantages for compacted fertilisers that do not undergo chemical processes.

Diammonium Phosphate (DAP)

Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) is used as a fertilizer. When applied as plant food, it temporarily increases the soil pH, but over a long term the treated ground becomes more acidic than before upon nitrification of the ammonium. It is incompatible with alkaline chemicals because its ammonium ion is more likely to convert to ammonia in a high-pH environment. The average pH in solution is 7.5–8. The typical formulation is 18-46-0 (18% N, 46% P2O5, 0% K2O).

Ground Magnesium Limestone (GML)

Ground Magnesium Limestone (GML) is dolomitic limestone that is grounded into fine powder form. It contains: 15% Magnesium oxide (MgO) & 40% Calcium oxide (CaO).

As fertiliser, GML has two functions. Its Calcium Oxide (CaO) content improves soil pH while its Magnesium Oxide (MgO) content provides the source for magnesium. Magnesium is essential for plants in the formation of chlorophyll. Magnesium also need for reinforcing rods, accelerating the maturity of plants and improving crop yield and quality.

Kieserite (MgO)

Kieserite (MgO) contains 27% Magnesium Oxide (MgO).

Magnesium is an important nutrient for the plant to grow. It is the key element in making chlorophyll and photosynthesis cannot happen without it. Magnesium is also an active agent in many enzymes, and it has a big impact in metabolism, nitrogen metabolism, fat and active oxide action of the plant. Magnesium fertilizers is perfect for the acidic soil, highly leaching soil, sandy soil.

Muriate of Potash (MOP)

admin — Mon, 04 May 2015 13:45:32 +0000

Muriate of Potash (MOP) contains 60% Potassium / Kalium (K). MOP has a high nutrient concentration and is therefore relatively price competitive with other forms of potassium. The chloride content of MOP can also be beneficial where soil chloride is low. Recent research has shown that chloride improves yield by increasing disease resistance in crops. In circumstances where soil or irrigation water chloride levels are very high, the addition of extra chloride with MOP can cause toxicity. However, this is unlikely to be a problem, except in very dry environments, since chloride is readily removed from the soil by leaching.

Urea

Urea contains 46% Nitrogen (N).

More than 90% of world industrial production of urea is destined for use as a nitrogen-release fertilizer.[40] Urea has the highest nitrogen content of all solid nitrogenous fertilizers in common use. Therefore, it has the lowest transportation costs per unit of nitrogen nutrient. The standard crop-nutrient rating (NPK rating) of urea is 46-0-0.
