- What is map & DAP fertiliser?
- MAP and DAP are ideal planting fertilisers, their attributes including: • Concentrated high analysis - minimising delays and stoppages to fill equipment; • Fully granulated – suiting today’s modern precision application equipment; • Phosphorus in forms readily available for plant uptake, stimulating root development and early growth;
- Who is Incitec Pivot?
- Incitec Pivot Limited can trace its origins to these times, with antecedent companies having been involved in the fertiliser industry for over 100 years. Superphosphate became and remained Australia’s most important phosphorus fertiliser on crops and pastures until the 1970s.
- When should I use map vs DAP?
- MAP is preferred to DAP at planting in those situations where too much nitrogen may affect germination, emergence and early seedling root development. MAP is commonly used where the planting fertiliser is placed in direct contact with the seed of winter cereals sown at narrow row spacings, e.g. wheat and barley, and in cotton.
- Which phosphorus fertiliser is best?
- The world’s most commonly traded and used phosphorus fertiliser... DAP is the most economical, and therefore the world’s most commonly traded and used phosphorus fertiliser. Its high analysis minimises freight, handling and storage. It is used both on its own and in combination with other fertilisers in blends.
- Why is DAP low in sulfur?
- DAP and MAP are low in sulfur. In high rainfall areas, the main reserve of sulfur in the soil is the soil organic matter. When the soil is cultivated, the breakdown (mineralisation) of soil organic matter is increased and sulfur is released. Smaller amounts of sulfur become available where the soil is not cultivated or disturbed.
- What is Australia's most important phosphorus fertiliser?
- Superphosphate became and remained Australia’s most important phosphorus fertiliser on crops and pastures until the 1970s. Since then, its cost competitiveness compared to other phosphorus fertilisers has declined.
