One of the major cropping fertilisers used in Australia as a source of phosphorus and nitrogen, MAP and MAP blends are used extensively in cropping systems and for sowing pastures. The low level of nitrogen makes it useful as a ‘starter’ fertiliser and as there is no free ammonia, the risk of affecting germinating seeds is minimal.

• Will store freely in shed storage for extended periods with little concern about moisture uptake.
• Covering with a tarp will greatly  reduce any moist air uptake.
• The use of augers may damage the fertiliser and increase any handling problems.
• Do not leave exposed to moist air.
• Either fill or empty (completely), the drill or air-seeder fertiliser box overnight.
• Raise the equipment  tynes from the soil to stop moisture moving up the tubes.

MAP is a highly soluble form of MAP supplying nitrogen and phosphorus to the plant. Ideal for use in turf and other horticultural situations.

MAP supplies ammoniacal nitrogen and phosphorous to plants in a soluble form. It is ideal for use in a wide range of applications but as a fertiliser or soil amendment is useful in helping start turf and plants off with extra P to encourage root development.

It may burn if applied in larger amounts or if used in the heat of the day. Should be dissolved in water and applied as a spray on turf, ornamentals and vegetables.

For use on greens, tees, and other closely mowed turf.
