AMMONIUM PHOSPHATE GRANULES

The Chemistry of Crop Performance: Amophos GR. Analysis

Amophos (monoammonium phosphate) by VAT «Gidrometallurgichesky Zavod» is a concentrated phosphorus-nitrogen fertilizer, characterized by a dominant phosphorus content of 35–40%. Unlike standard nutrient mixes, the phosphorus in this product exists in a highly water-soluble form. This is a critical technical advantage, especially during the early stages of plant growth when the root system's ability to absorb nutrients determines the overall harvest potential.

The Role of Granular Structure

The choice of a granular formulation is a deliberate engineering solution aimed at controlling the nutrient release rate. Granulated Amophos facilitates localized feeding, minimizing nitrogen leaching into lower soil layers. The 10–15% nitrogen content is provided in the ammonium form, which is less susceptible to volatilization and helps stimulate the uptake of phosphorus by plant roots in various soil types.

Field Application and Agronomic Efficiency

• Cereal Crops: Establishes a strong foundation for tillering and ear formation.
• Sunflower: Promotes deep root system development, enhancing drought tolerance.
• Vegetables and Beetroot: Drives metabolic processes essential for fruit and root crop development.

Classified under hazard class 4, this product ensures safe handling for field teams during application. The granular form allows for uniform distribution during primary soil tillage, creating a consistent nutritional zone that supports crop growth throughout the season. This fertilizer is particularly effective in phosphorus-deficient soils, acting as an essential tool for balanced crop nutrition without the risk of soil acidification.
