What is the application of DAP?
It can be applied in autumn for tilling and in spring during sowing, as well as for pre-sowing cultivation. Dissolving in soil, it provides temporary alkalization of pH of the soil solution around the fertilizer granule, thus stimulating better uptake of phosphorus from the fertilizers on acid soils.
Uses:
- Fertilizer: DAP is the most widely used phosphorus fertilizer globally. It provides readily available phosphorus, essential for plant growth and development.
- Fire retardant: DAP acts as a flame retardant in various products, including cigarettes and firebreaks.
- Food industry: DAP is used as a yeast nutrient in winemaking and mead production and as an additive in some cheeses.
- Industrial applications: DAP has various industrial uses, including metal finishing, soldering, and purifying sugar.
