Description
A dry, granular, freeflowing product, gray in color. Produced by addition of phosphoric acid to phosphate rock, thus avoiding formation of insoluble gypsum, as in superphosphate, and achieving three times the amount of available phosphate (as P2O5). Typical analysis: moisture 2%, available P2O5 50%, water solution P2O5 45%, free phosphoric acid 1%, also minor ingredients. Used as a fertilizer.
Uses
TSP is used as base fertilizer and top dressing for cash crops, vegetables, fruit trees and ornamental plants.
