How to use NitroPhos (NP) in different crops || Crop Reformer
434Rate of DAP fertilizer has been increased and wheat farmers have been impelled to use nitrophos as its alternate in several field crops. It was considered as good alternate of DAP but manufacturers have reduced its ratio to NP 22:20%. Using of same old name but reducing NP proportion is not appreciable and considered as a tactic of money-making in the disguise of established brand. Even then, nitrophos is good combination of acidic fertilizer with pH of 3.5. It may be used all as basal application in the rain fed areas. In some cases also be used in the irrigated areas as alternate of DAP by splitting its application as 50 kg NP at sowing, 50 kg NP+50 kg urea at 1st irrigation and flooding of 25 kg NP at booting stage of wheat for the production of 40 maunds per acre.

Recent price hike of DAP has made it impossible for small farmers to use even a single bag of dap fertilizer in their fields. New price of DAP is now 12100 per 50kg bag. In this video, we have tried to convey alternate of dap to be used in coming crops like rice.

DAP (diammonium phosphate) is the king of artificial fertilizers and has been playing a very important role in the crop production worldwide. In Pakistan too, it is considered as the most important fertilizer for attaining the the potential yield and production of field crops. Its price has so much increases that it has become very difficult for the poor farmers to purchase this fertilizer. In this video, we have suggested the solophos (Jaffar AG), Ultrasol (Swat Agro) and Growfos as alternates of DAP. As these fertilizers are acidic in nature, readily soluble/available to the plant, therefore it is advised that these should be applied in split fertigation in the standing crop instead application as basal dose. Being acidic in nature and more rich in phosphorus, MAP (mono ammonium phosphate) of Engro has also been declared as better option than DAP.
