High Phosphorus Content: TSP contains about 46% P₂O₅, making it one of the most concentrated phosphorus fertilizers available.
Water-Soluble Phosphorus: Nearly all the phosphorus in TSP is water-soluble, ensuring fast availability to plants.
Promotes Root Development: Phosphorus enhances strong root growth, especially during early plant stages.
Improves Flowering & Fruit Set: Adequate phosphorus supports better flowering, seed formation, and fruit quality.
Enhances Energy Transfer: Plays a key role in ATP formation, which is essential for plant metabolism and growth.
Suitable for Many Crops: Widely used for field crops, vegetables, fruit trees, and ornamentals.
Low Impurity Level: Compared to SSP, TSP contains minimal calcium sulfate, allowing higher nutrient concentration.
Compatible with Other Fertilizers: Can be blended with nitrogen and potassium fertilizers for balanced nutrition.
Effective in Phosphorus-Deficient Soils: Particularly beneficial in low-P soils, improving yield and crop vigor.
Easy Application: Suitable for basal soil application before planting or during early growth stages
| Crop | Application Method | Recommended Rate |
|---|
| Field crops (wheat, maize, rice, sugar beet) | Soil application before planting or during land preparation | 100 – 150 kg / feddan |
| Vegetables (tomato, potato, onion, cucumber) | Soil application before planting | 75 – 125 kg / feddan |
| Fruit trees | Soil application around the tree | 0.5 – 1.5 kg / tree (according to age) |
| Newly planted fruit trees | Soil application | 250 – 500 g / tree |
| Medicinal & aromatic plants | Soil application | 75 – 100 kg / feddan |
| Legume crops | Soil application before planting | 100 – 150 kg / feddan |
Important Notes:
TSP is best applied during soil preparation for maximum efficiency.
Not suitable for foliar application.
Mix well with soil to reduce phosphorus fixation.
Application rates may vary according to soil analysis and crop requirements.
