MAP (11-52-0)

Description

1. Product Overview

MAP (11-52-0) is a high-purity, water-soluble monoammonium phosphate fertilizer engineered for precision agriculture and industrial nutrient applications. It is primarily used as a concentrated source of phosphorus (52% P₂O₅) and nitrogen (11% N) to drive early-stage root development, crop establishment, and high-yield outcomes in demanding soil conditions. Its strategic value lies in delivering the highest phosphorus content among common phosphate fertilizers with minimal chloride or heavy metal impurities, making it indispensable for professional farming operations, fertigation systems, and blended NPK manufacturing. For global buyers, MAP (11-52-0) represents a critical input for maximizing agronomic efficiency and supply chain reliability in competitive crop production markets.

2. Key Specifications & Technical Characteristics

• Water Solubility: Fully soluble (≥99% dissolution within 30 minutes at 25°C)

• Moisture Content: ≤0.5%

• Heavy Metal Limits (ICP-OES verified): As ≤10 ppm, Cd ≤5 ppm, Pb ≤10 ppm, Hg ≤0.5 ppm

• Packaging Options: 25 kg laminated woven bags, 500 kg jumbo bags, or 1,000–1,200 kg bulk FIBCs; container liners available on request

• Shelf Life: 24 months when stored in dry, ventilated conditions (original sealed packaging)

3. Core Industrial Applications

• Primary Agriculture (Row Crops & Horticulture): Direct soil application at planting for corn, wheat, canola, rice, and soybeans. MAP’s ammonium form reduces phosphorus fixation in calcareous or acidic soils compared to DAP or single superphosphate, improving uptake efficiency by 15–20%.

• Fertigation & Drip Irrigation Systems: Fully soluble formulation prevents nozzle clogging and ensures uniform nutrient delivery in greenhouse vegetables, berries, and high-value cash crops. Outperforms standard MAP grades with faster dissolution and lower insoluble residue (<0.5%).

• Blended NPK & Starter Fertilizers: Used as a key raw material for producing compound fertilizers (e.g., 12-32-16, 10-40-10). Its low biuret content and high phosphorus load enable premium blending with urea, MOP, and SOP without caking or segregation.

• Industrial & Turf/Specialty Applications: Sports turf management, golf course greens, and nursery media. The high purity reduces leaf burn and salinity stress versus lower-grade phosphates.

• Cost Advantage: Higher P₂O₅ concentration (52%) reduces freight, storage, and application costs per unit of phosphorus delivered compared to 46% or 44% grades.

4. Competitive Advantages

• Quality Consistency: ISO 9001:2015 certified production with batch-wise HPLC and ICP testing. Each shipment includes Certificate of Analysis (CoA) guaranteeing N, P₂O₅, moisture, and heavy metal limits.

• Supply Reliability: Dedicated production lines with 50,000 MT/month capacity. Multi-plant sourcing (China, Morocco, Russia, Jordan) mitigates geopolitical or logistical disruptions.

• Logistics Capability: Pre-shipment container loading verification, fumigation-ready packaging, and expedited port-to-port lead times (14–21 days to major global hubs).

• Price Competitiveness: Direct from manufacturer or authorized consolidator – no markups. Quarterly fixed-price contracts available for volumes ≥500 MT/month.

• Sustainability: Low cadmium (≤5 ppm) compliance for EU 2019/1009 regulation. Recyclable packaging and zero liquid discharge in manufacturing process.

• Technical Support: Free agronomic advisory, custom blending recommendations, and co-marketing collateral for downstream distributors.
