The role of phosphate fertilizer:
Rational application of phosphate fertilizer can increase crop yield, improve product quality, accelerate the tillering of cereal crops, promote young ear differentiation, grain filling and plump grains, and encourage early maturity; it can also promote flower bud differentiation and flowering and fruiting of crops such as cotton, melons, solanaceous vegetables and fruit trees, increase fruit set rate, increase the sugar content of berries, sugar beets, sugarcane and watermelons, the starch content of tuber crops, the oil content of oil crop seeds, and the protein content of legume seeds.
When planting leguminous green manure, applying an appropriate amount of phosphate fertilizer can significantly increase the fresh grass yield of green manure, increase the nitrogen fixation of rhizobia, and achieve what is commonly called "using phosphorus to increase nitrogen." In addition, it can also improve crops' resistance to drought, cold and saline-alkali stress.
Types of phosphate fertilizer:
Common types of phosphate fertilizer include monoammonium phosphate, diammonium phosphate, phosphate fertilizer, double-burned phosphate fertilizer, calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer, triple superphosphate, superphosphate, granular phosphate fertilizer, enriched superphosphate, ammonium phosphate, white phosphate fertilizer, and light calcium phosphate.
Classification of phosphate fertilizer: generally divided into water-soluble phosphate fertilizer, citrate-soluble phosphate fertilizer, and insoluble phosphate fertilizer.
Water-soluble phosphate fertilizer: mainly ordinary superphosphate, triple superphosphate and ammonium phosphate (monoammonium phosphate, diammonium phosphate). It is soluble in water under natural conditions, is absorbed quickly by crops, and is often used in water-soluble fertilizers.
Citrate-soluble phosphate fertilizer: includes calcium magnesium phosphate fertilizer, calcium hydrogen phosphate, precipitated phosphate fertilizer and steel slag phosphate fertilizer, etc. It takes a longer time to decompose and is often used as a base fertilizer.
Insoluble phosphate fertilizer: such as phosphate rock powder, bone meal and phosphatic guano, etc., which only dissolves in strong acids and is insoluble in water.
