Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) 12-61-0 – Special Water-Soluble Fertilizer

Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) 12-61-0 Special Water-Soluble is a high-purity phosphorus fertilizer designed for modern agricultural systems requiring fast nutrient availability and complete solubility. This water soluble MAP fertilizer provides an efficient source of phosphorus and nitrogen, ensuring rapid uptake by plants without precipitation or clogging in irrigation systems.

MAP 12-61-0 is widely used in fertigation, drip irrigation, foliar application, and hydroponic systems, making it one of the most reliable water-soluble phosphate fertilizers for professional crop production.

Chemical Composition and Structure

Monoammonium Phosphate is produced through a controlled reaction between ammonia (NH₃) and phosphoric acid (H₃PO₄), resulting in a stable, highly soluble compound with the chemical formula NH₄H₂PO₄.

Typical analysis of MAP fertilizer:

• Nitrogen (N): 12% (ammonium form)

• Phosphorus (P₂O₅): 61%

• Potassium (K₂O): 0%

The Special Water Soluble grade features refined particle size, low impurity levels, and excellent solubility, ensuring compatibility with sensitive irrigation and fertigation equipment.

Why Water-Soluble MAP Matters in Agriculture

Phosphorus availability is one of the most critical limiting factors in crop production. In many soils, especially alkaline and calcareous soils, phosphorus becomes fixed and unavailable to plants due to reactions with calcium, iron, or aluminum.

MAP water-soluble fertilizer overcomes this limitation by:

• Dissolving completely in water

• Delivering phosphorus directly to the root zone or leaf surface

• Allowing rapid absorption before fixation occurs

This makes monoammonium phosphate water soluble particularly effective in precision agriculture and greenhouse production.

Key Benefits of MAP Water-Soluble Fertilizer

• Complete solubility with no residue

• High phosphorus availability for early growth stages

• Mild nitrogen source with low risk of plant burn

• Suitable for drip irrigation and fertigation systems

• Stable performance across different soil types

• Ideal for export oriented and high value crops

Role of MAP in Plant Growth and Development

MAP fertilizer plays a crucial role during early vegetative growth and reproductive preparation stages.

Its phosphorus content supports:

• Root system development

• Energy transfer (ATP synthesis)

• Cell division and metabolic activity

Nitrogen in ammonium form contributes to balanced vegetative growth without excessive leaf development, making MAP especially suitable before flowering and fruit set.

Recommended Crops for MAP Fertilizer

Monoammonium phosphate fertilizer is suitable for a wide range of crops, including:

• Vegetable crops (tomato, cucumber, pepper, lettuce)

• Greenhouse and controlled-environment crops

• Fruit trees during early season growth

• Potatoes, onions, and root vegetables

• Ornamental plants and flowers

• Hydroponic and soilless cultivation systems

MAP fertilizer for vegetables and greenhouse crops is particularly valued for its fast response and predictable results.

Soil Compatibility and Performance

MAP water-soluble fertilizer performs best in:

• Alkaline soils

• Calcareous soils with high calcium content

• Phosphorus-deficient soils

In acidic soils, MAP can still be used effectively with controlled application rates. Its acidic reaction in solution improves phosphorus availability near the root zone, enhancing nutrient uptake efficiency.

Application Methods

MAP 12-61-0 Special Water-Soluble is fully compatible with:

• Drip irrigation systems

• Fertigation units

• Foliar spraying

• Hydroponic nutrient solutions

Its high solubility prevents emitter blockage and ensures uniform nutrient distribution throughout the irrigation network.

Packaging and Industrial Supply

This water-soluble MAP fertilizer is typically supplied in 25 kg and 50 kg bags, suitable for bulk agricultural use, export markets, and professional farming operations. Quality-controlled packaging ensures product stability during storage and transportation.

Supply and Export Experience
