DCP: Di-calcic Phosphate

Di-calcium phosphate (DCP) is a type of phosphate fertilizer that contains a high concentration of phosphorus. It is commonly used in the agriculture and horticulture industries to provide plants with an easily accessible source of phosphorus, an essential nutrient for their growth and development.

DCP is primarily used as a soil fertilizer, where it is applied to the soil before or during planting. When DCP is applied to the soil, it undergoes a process called dissolution or hydrolysis, where it reacts with moisture in the soil to release phosphorus ions. These phosphorus ions are then available for plant roots to absorb and utilize.

The availability of phosphorus in DCP is relatively slow compared to other phosphorus fertilizers, such as diammonium phosphate (DAP) or monoammonium phosphate (MAP). This slow release characteristic of DCP makes it suitable for crops that have a longer growth cycle or require a continuous supply of phosphorus throughout their growth stages.

It's important to note that the specific fertilizer requirements of plants can vary depending on factors such as soil conditions, crop type, and growth stage. Consulting with local agronomists or agricultural services can provide more tailored recommendations for your specific crops and farming practices.

Citric soluble P is plant available but slow release allowing for less run off with better overall impact. As an ultrafine particle product DCP is perfect for application through a wide nozzle sprayer such as a Walco Sprayer or Cyclone Sprayer
