Triple Super Phosphate
Triple Super Phosphate (TSP) is best used as an additive to soil, during a period of extensive nutrient growth to promote root development, disease resilience, improved yield, greater stalk strength and early maturity. For example when your tomato plants are starting to develop fruits. During this period plants will use a lot of nutrients, including Phosphorus. Alternatively it can also be used before planting, as it will give the new plants a larger source of Phosphorus when they need it. TSP is ideal for phosphorus hungry plants such as legumes like beans or alfalfa, tomatoes, cabbages, Brussels sprouts, carrots and potatoes to name just a few.Mineral Analysis:
Phosphorus 46%: Phosphorus is used by plants for most of their processes. From photosynthesis to cell division and energy storage. Abundant supplies of this mineral promote healthy root growth and vigorous early growth.It is always recommended to test your soil for deficiencies before usage, as too much phosphorus can reduce the amount of other nutrients your plants absorbs from the soil. Take care not to apply too much, or too early/late, as the phosphorus is subject to “fixation”. During this process the phosphorus reverts to forms that plants cannot easily utilise.Recommended Applications:
| Before planting out | 30gms per square metre dug into 200mm |
|---|---|
| Top dressing during growing period | 20/30gms per square metre every 6/8 weeks (water in thoroughly) |
General Soil Nutrient Applications:
| High requirement | 60gms per square metre |
|---|---|
| Med requirement | 30gms per square metre |
| Low requirement | 15gms per square metre |
