Single Super Phosphate (SSP) is a foundational, multi-nutrient fertilizer used to supply plants with readily available phosphorus, sulphur, and calcium.
SSP is highly valued because it provides three primary macronutrients in a single application.
SSP contains three primary nutrients, making it a highly cost-effective basal fertilizer.
Key Nutrient Composition
Phosphorus (16%): Promotes strong, early root development and plant establishment.
Sulphur (11% to 12%): Essential for oilseed crops and protein formation.
Calcium (21%): Improves soil structure and plant pest resistance.
Agricultural Benefits
- Root & Shoot Growth: The available phosphorus ensures early plant establishment and vigorous root development.
- Crop Specificity: Because sulfur is a vital component of edible oils, SSP is highly preferred by oilseed farmers. It also improves nodulation in pulse crops.
- Soil Health: The high calcium content helps improve soil structure and can assist in reclaiming alkali soils over time.
Application & Pricing
- Usage: It is typically applied at the time of sowing as a basal dose.
- Cost: It is a budget-friendly alternative to fertilizers like DAP.
