Water soluble phosphate (as P2O5) per cent by weight, minimum 16 Ammoniated Single Superphosphate: Ammonia general of the SSP has been free phosphate products. Products containing 2% to 3%, the SSP will ammoniation part of the phosphate dihydrate, Ca (H2PO4) 2 H2O into DCP CaHPO4 2H2O, P2O5 reduce the aqueous solution. So to the extent strictly control ammoniation. Advantages of SSP Fertilizer: Provides 15% of total phosphate requirement of the country. Lowest price per kg, preferred by small and marginal farmers. Multi-nutrient fertilizer containing P2O5 as primary nutrient and Sulphur and Calcium as secondary nutrients. It is the cheapest source of Sulphur for the soil. Only phosphatic fertilizer which can utilize Indian rock phosphate deposits. Least foreign exchange per unit of P2O5. Utilizes acid effluent from other chemical industry and thus reduces nation's cost of effluent disposal. Applications: Research finding suggest some of the following features: Groundnut : Groundnut crop has responded well to Borophos with better root growth profuse nodulation better flower set and peg formation less number of pops pods fully filled with kernel the application increased the protein content 24.726.5% in groundnut kernels. Oil content of kernel significantly increased to 44.1% indicating that boron might be catalysing the metabolism of carbohydrates in oil higher yields about 15- 19 % over ordinary superphosphate Potato: Potato crop has showed very good growth of tubers and yield by use of BNSSP over ordinary SSP i.e. an increase of 11-20% has been reported. Sugarcane: Use of BNSS in sugarcane gave taller canes with longer internodes bigger girth of canes increased yield in the range of 12-19 %.

NFC IEFR FSD PAKISTAN Onion: Use of BNSSP has shown increase in bulb size and also increase in yield perse. The yield increase has been in range of 12-18 %. Maize: Helps in tip filling of cobs, bold uniform kernels are formed due to use of borophos, also helps to withstand stress conditions
