Single Super Phosphate Fertilizer (SSP) –50KG

The product Single Super Phosphate (SSP) fertilizer is one of the phosphorus based fertilizer used for the fertilization of crops. It is used for improving the root development of plants and also for the efficient transportation of sugar around the plants.

The Single Super Phosphate (SSP) fertilizer is also used to improve the flowering process of plants. Single Super Phosphate (SSP) fertilizer is produced through a chemical reaction of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ [Rock Phosphate] + 2 H₂SO₄ [Sulfuric Acid] → Ca(H₂PO4)₂ [Monocalcium Phosphate] + 2 CaSO₄ [Gypsum].

The Single Super Phosphate (SSP) fertilizer supplies three key nutrients to plants. The nutrients are phosphorus, calcium and sulfur. These three nutrients ensure that plants are healthy. They also increase crop yield if used correctly.

Chemical Properties of Single Superphosphate (SSP) fertilizer

The following are the chemical properties of SSP fertilizer:

• Phosphorus content: 7 to 9% (16 to 20% P2O5)
• Calcium (Ca) content: 18 to 21%
• S content: 11 to 12%
• pH: < 2

Crops SSP fertilizer can be used for

• Single Super Phosphate (SSP) fertilizer can be applied as a starter fertilizer to supply phosphorus for root development to crops like pepper, cucumber, egg plants, watermelon, okra, lettuce and kale etc.  Healthy roots will extract more water and nutrients from the soil, this can significantly improve crop yield.
• Single Super Phosphate fertilizer can also be applied to tree and fruit crops during the root development and flower blooming stages. These tree and fruit crops include cocoa, oil palm, cashew, mango, orange, apple and pawpaw etc.
• Broad acre crops like maize, sorghum, millet, sesame and sugarcane etc can also benefit from the application of SSP fertilizer.
• SSP fertilizer can also be applied to crops like pasture, fodders and flowers.

Benefits of Single Superphosphate Fertilizer

The following are the benefits of the nutrients in SSP fertilizer:

Benefits of Phosphorus

• Phosphorus is beneficial to root development. Healthy and bigger roots extract more water and nutrients from the soil; this can lead to an increase in crop yield.
• Phosphorus improves the production of flowers and fruits in plants.
• Phosphorus optimizes the process of nitrogen fixation in leguminous plants.
• Phosphorus improves the process of cells development in plants.
• Phosphorus enhances the overall health of plants.

Benefits of Calcium

• Calcium enables the usage and transportation of other nutrients in plants.
• Calcium protects plants from diseases and pests by making the cells and tissues of the plant to be turgid and resilient to stress.
• Calcium also helps in root development.
• Calcium helps in plant’s cell division.
• Calcium enables the plants to make use of other nutrients.

Benefits of Sulfur

• Sulfur ensures the formation of amino acids, proteins and oils. These are needed for the healthy growth of the plant.
• It also helps in the formation of chlorophyll which is needed for photosynthesis.

How to Use Single Superphosphate Fertilizer (SSP)

• SSP fertilizer is usually used as a starter fertilizer through basal application. In basal application, the fertilizer is spread on the soil before the planting of the crops or seeds.
• SSP fertilizer can also be side dressed and top dressed. In side dressing, the SSP fertilizer is placed beside the plant or beside the row of plants.
• SSP fertilizer can also be buried in holes beside the plants or the row of plants. This is the most efficient way of applying the Single Super Phosphate (SSP) fertilizer.
• 5-10 grams of SSP fertilizer should be buried beside each plant.

Advantages of Using SSP Fertilizer

• The price of SSP fertilizer is relatively cheaper than the prices of other fertilizers. This is a plus for farmers who need cheap fertilizers.
• It is easy to store.
• SSP fertilizer can be mixed or blended with a lot of fertilizers. However, it is advised that when mixed with other types of fertilizers, it should be used immediately in order to avoid adverse chemical reaction.
• It supplies key nutrients like phosphorus, calcium and sulfur to the soil and plants.
