Overview
Understanding Diammonium Phosphate (DAP)
Diammonium phosphate supplies both ammonium nitrogen and a high concentration of phosphate. It is frequently used in basal and planting programmes where phosphorus is needed for early development. DAP creates a temporarily alkaline zone around the dissolving granule, so placement and rate should be planned carefully, particularly near germinating seed. Source specifications are confirmed at quotation.
Wana Ventures presents this information as general product guidance. The quoted source, nutrient analysis, particle size, treatment, colour and other physical or chemical characteristics are confirmed for the specific enquiry. Buyers should review the final documentation and ensure the selected material is appropriate for local regulations and intended agricultural use.
Key characteristics
What to consider
Nutrient role
Delivers concentrated phosphorus plus useful ammonium nitrogen together.
Field handling
Supports early root development where soil testing confirms phosphorus need.
Programme fit
High nutrient density helps simplify storage, transport and application.
Supply flexibility
Granular material works in direct-spreading and compatible blending systems.
Typical applications
Where this grade may fit
Basal nutrition for cereals and maize under soil-test guidance.
Field crops requiring phosphorus support during early establishment.
Fertilizer blends needing both phosphate and ammonium nitrogen.
Pre-plant or banded placement with appropriate seed separation.
Fertilizer choice and rate should be based on soil analysis, crop requirement, expected yield, climate and local practice. Confirm the programme with a qualified agronomist; this page is not a crop-specific recommendation.
Packaging & handling
Options coordinated for your order
Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) enquiries can be discussed in 50 kg bags, 1-ton bags (jumbo bags) or bulk. Availability, specifications, packaging configuration, minimum or maximum order quantities and delivery arrangements are subject to confirmation during quotation.
Keep fertilizer dry, covered and separated from moisture, heat, incompatible materials, food and animal feed. Use suitable protective equipment, follow the supplier safety data sheet and local rules, and maintain orderly stock rotation. Do not store fertilizer where runoff could enter drains or waterways. Specific transport and storage requirements depend on the confirmed product and documentation.
