SSP= Single Super Phosphate is a type of Fertilizer used for agriculture. Molecular formula:Ca(H20P4)2.H2O 4,
Phosphates are very common fertilizers.
Yes, phosphates are used as fertilizers.
Phosphate is the nonrenewable resource found in Florida that is typically mined and used in agriculture. It is a key ingredient in fertilizers and is important for plant growth.
Yes, it is a nonrenewable resource.
Triple super phosphate is generally more effective, as it has higher phosphorous (P) levels. However if you need to raise the level of sulphur (S) in your soil you may be better off with normal super, as it has higher S levels. Also, keep in mind that triple super is usually more expensive.
Super phosphate is calcium dihydrogen phosphate. It can be prepared by reacting sulfuric acid with calcium phosphate :Calcium phosphate + Sulfuric acid ----> Calcium sulfate + Calcium dihydrogen phosphate3 Ca3(PO4)2 + 6 H2SO4 ----> 6 CaSO4 + 3 Ca(H2PO4)2
single super phosphate or superphosphate of lime, Ca(H 2 PO 4 ) 2 , is a compound produced by treating rock phosphate with sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid, or a mixture of the two. It is the principal carrier of phosphate, the form of phosphorus usable by plants, and is one of the world's most important fertilizers. Ordinary superphosphate contains about 20% available phosphate; double superphosphate (also called treble superphosphate) contains 40%-50% available phosphate.
A phosphate factory produces phosphate-based products such as fertilizers, animal feed supplements, and industrial chemicals. These products are commonly used in agriculture to improve soil fertility and crop yields.
super phosphate is a dangerous adulterant
Fresh super is quite a dark grey colour. However by the time it's ready for farm use it should be an almost white colour.
No. It doesn't contain any nitrogen. It contains 8.8% phosphorus (P) and 11 % sulfur (S) as sulfate.
