Triple superphosphate (TSP – 0-46-0) is a highly concentrated phosphate fertilizer containing 46% phosphorus (P₂O₅) in a 90% water-soluble form. It is one of the most efficient sources of phosphorus for crops, as phosphorus is immediately available to plants, contributing to rooting, flowering, fruit formation and overall crop resilience.
TSP is ideal for use in basic fertilization, as it provides the phosphorus needed in the critical initial phases of plant growth.
It is mainly used in soils with low available phosphorus content.
Features and benefits
High phosphorus content
Provides 42% water-soluble phosphorus for immediate absorption by plants.
Rooting improvement
It enhances the development of the root system, promoting the absorption of nutrients and water.
Ideal for basic lubrication
It is applied before or during sowing to ensure optimal plant nutrition during the early stages of growth.
Suitable for soils with phosphorus deficiency
Improves fertility and productivity.
TSP is suitable for a wide range of crops, such as:
Cereals – Grains (wheat, barley, corn): Helps with rooting and flowering.
Industrial crops (cotton, sugar beets): Enhances growth and production quality.
Vegetables (tomato, potato, cucumber): Improves fruit development and yield.
Fruit trees (olives, citrus): Supports vegetative growth and productivity.
Grapevines: Helps in the growth of vines and improves the quality of grapes.
Indicative doses (per acre) and application methods:
Cereals (wheat, barley)
10-15 kg/ha, applied as basic fertilization before sowing.
Corn
15-25 kg/acre, at planting.
Cotton
10-15 kg/hectare, before sowing.
Papilionoideae
20 – 25 kg / acre
Potato
20-30 kg/ha, at planting, incorporated into the soil.
Tomato and pepper
2-3 kg/ha per application via fertigation during the early stages of growth.
Olives
2-3 kg/tree, applied at the beginning of the growing season.
Vines
15-20 kg/ha, applied during basic fertilization (before the start of the growing season).
Notes: Exact rates depend on soil type, crop needs and climatic conditions. It is recommended to work with a qualified agronomist to ensure correct application and optimize yields.
