Description:

AGRIVENTURE Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) is a highly water-soluble chemical compound (NH₄H₂PO₄) widely used as a premium plant fertilizer and dry chemical fire extinguisher. In agriculture, its highly concentrated, chloride-free formulation delivers essential nitrogen and phosphorus to promote robust root development, healthy flowering, and optimal crop yields.

Technical content: Monoammonium Phosphate - MAP

Key Features & Benefits:

• High Phosphorus Content: Contains the highest available phosphorus (up to 61% P₂O₅) among common solid fertilizers, making it crucial for strong early root establishment and seed development.
• Optimized Soil pH: Creates a moderately acidic zone (pH around 4.0 - 4.5) around the root zone as it dissolves. This makes it highly beneficial for neutral to alkaline soils, where it helps solubilize naturally present phosphorus and micronutrients.
• Ammoniacal Nitrogen: Features 12% nitrogen in the stable ammoniacal form (NH₄⁺), which resists leaching and provides a steady, controlled release.
• Versatile Application: Can be easily dissolved for drip irrigation (fertigation), applied as a foliar spray, or mixed into the soil during planting.
• Highly Pure & Safe: Virtually free from chloride, sodium, and heavy metals, minimizing the risk of salt burn or toxicity on sensitive crops.

Crops suitability:

• Fruits & Orchards: Grapes, Pomegranate, Banana, Watermelon, Citrus, and Apple. (Excellent for flower retention and preventing fruit drop).
• Vegetables: Tomato, Onion, Potato, and Leafy greens.
• Cash Crops: Cotton, Sugarcane, and Soybeans.
• Spices: Ginger, Turmeric, and Chili.
• Cereals & Pulses: Wheat, Rice, and Maize.

Commonly used for:

• Starter Fertilizer: Applied during seeding or planting to provide a quick burst of water-soluble phosphorus, which is essential for early root development and sprouting.
• Alkaline & Neutral Soils: Because it is moderately acidic, it temporarily lowers the pH of soil right around the granule, making phosphorus and micronutrients much more available in high-pH or calcareous soils.
• Flowering & Fruit Setting: Often applied via fertigation (drip irrigation) or foliar sprays to promote healthy, uniform flowering and prevent early fruit abortion.
• Bulk Blending: Serves as a primary raw material blended with other nutrients (Nitrogen and Potassium) to create custom NPK fertilizer blends.
• Fire Extinguishers: Serves as the main active, fire-retardant powder in ABC-class dry chemical extinguishers. When heated, it melts and coats the fuel, cutting off oxygen and stopping the fire.
• Specialized Electronics: Due to its unique crystal structure, highly purified Tech-Grade MAP is used in optics and to create piezoelectric devices.
• Water Treatment: Used in specific chemical treatment processes as a source of phosphate.

Mode of entry: Systemic

Mode of action:

• Direct Nutrient Supply: Supplies essential Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) at a standard ratio of roughly 12% N and 61% P₂O₅ (or 52% P₂O₅ in some agricultural grades).
• Soil Acidification: MAP creates a mildly acidic micro-environment around the granules (pH of roughly 4.0 - 4.5). This acidity helps prevent phosphorus from becoming chemically bound or "fixed" in high-pH or calcareous soils.
• Enhanced Micronutrient Availability: The local acidic zone improves the plant's ability to absorb vital soil micronutrients like iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn).
• Energy Transfer and Metabolism: Absorbed phosphate forms are quickly integrated into ATP and nucleic acids, driving plant metabolism, cell division, and structural growth.

Mode of application: Foliar Spray, Drip Irrigation / Soil Drenching

Dose: 90gm in 15-liter water
