TSP Fertilizer- 50Kg

Triple Super Phosphate (TSP) is a highly concentrated phosphorus fertilizer, making it one of the most efficient sources of phosphorus for plants. With a phosphorus content of 46%, TSP has the highest phosphate concentration among granular fertilizers that do not contain nitrogen. This high phosphorus content is critical for the growth and development of plants, particularly in the formation of roots, flowers, and fruits.

Composition and Characteristics

• TSP is comprised of 46% phosphorus, which is essential for energy transfer and storage in plants. Phosphorus plays a key role in photosynthesis, respiration, and nutrient transportation within the plant.
• TSP has an acidic pH of 3. This acidity can help in the rapid dissolution of the fertilizer, making phosphorus readily available to plants.
• TSP is particularly beneficial for plants that have high sulphur requirements. The fertilizer dissolves quickly, ensuring that both phosphorus and sulphur are promptly accessible to the plants, thus promoting vigorous growth and productivity.

Benefits of TSP

• TSP dissolves rapidly in soil, providing quick access to phosphorus. This is crucial during the early stages of plant growth when phosphorus demand is high.
• The high phosphorus content in TSP supports strong root development and enhances flowering and fruiting, leading to better overall plant health and increased yields.
• The acidic nature of TSP can help in lowering the pH of alkaline soils, making nutrients more available to plants. This can be particularly useful in regions where soil pH is naturally high.
• Without the presence of nitrogen, TSP allows for precise control over phosphorus application. This is ideal for situations where soil nitrogen levels are already adequate or where additional nitrogen could be detrimental to plant growth.

Application and Usage

• TSP can be applied in various ways depending on the crop and soil conditions. Common methods include broadcasting, banding, and incorporation into the soil. The choice of application method should consider the specific phosphorus requirements of the crop, soil pH, and existing nutrient levels.
• Spreading TSP uniformly across the field. This method is suitable for crops with extensive root systems or for correcting phosphorus deficiencies across large areas.
• Placing TSP in bands near the seed or root zone. This ensures that phosphorus is immediately available to the young plants, promoting early root development.
• Mixing TSP into the soil prior to planting. This method ensures even distribution of phosphorus throughout the root zone.

Handling and Storage

Due to its acidic nature, TSP should be handled with care. Protective gear should be worn to avoid contact with skin and eyes. The fertilizer should be stored in a dry place to prevent caking and loss of effectiveness.
