How to Apply DAP Fertilizer: Step-By-Step Guide

Recently, the cost of DAP fertilizer bags has been increasing rapidly, affecting the farmers in terms of time and money. That is where the nano-liquid DAP fertilizer has been introduced in the market. Nano-DAP liquid fertilizer is a nano-technology-based agricultural product that provides efficient and effective nutrients to boost plants’ health and growth.

DAP, also known as Diammonium Phosphate, is a concentrated source of two essential components i.e., Nitrogen and Phosphorus, that are responsible for plant growth and help in correcting the Nitrogen and Phosphorus deficiencies in the standing crops. Nano DAP Liquid is a highly soluble nutrient solution that dissolves quickly in water, allowing plants to absorb its benefits immediately. The particle size of less than 100 Nanometer (nm) gives it an advantage in terms of surface area to volume ratio, which enables it to enter easily inside the seed surface or through stomata and other plant openings. The unique combination of Nitrogen and Phosphorus in Nano DAP is functionalized with bio-polymers and other excipients, resulting in better spread ability and assimilation inside the plant system.

As a result, it leads to higher seed vigour, more chlorophyll, improved photosynthetic efficiency, better quality, and an increase in crop yields. Furthermore, Nano DAP fulfils the nutritional requirements of crops with precision and targeted application without compromising the environment.

Benefits of Nano DAP Fertilizer

  • Higher crop yield

    During important growth stages, crops can be treated with seed treatment and Nano DAP application to enhance nutrient availability, which can lead to an increase in yield. Additionally, this process results in a boost in the chlorophyll content in leaves, the rate of photosynthesis, root biomass, and the number of efficient tillers and branches.

  • Increase in farmers’ income

    Farmers can benefit from lower input costs, an increased crop yield, and improved crop quality, which can ultimately lead to higher income.

  • Environment friendly

    The production of Nano-DAP is characterized by its efficient use of resources and energy. When utilized in agriculture, it can significantly reduce the application of excess bulk fertilizer, along with the losses that result from leaching. By applying Nano-DAP fertilizer in a targeted manner, agricultural sustainability and environmental safety can be promoted, as it helps in limiting the pollution of soil, air, and water.

  • Reduction in the use of chemical fertilizers

    Nano-DAP has the ability to substitute 50% of the phosphorus requirement of traditional DAP, which results in more effective utilization of chemical fertilizers by satisfying the nitrogen and phosphorus needs of crucial growth stages.

  • Easy to store and transport

    Smaller quantities of Nano DAP are required in comparison to voluminous phosphatic fertilizers like DAP, resulting in reduced logistical efforts and greater convenience for farmers during transportation.

  • Reduction in subsidy burden

    The nano DAP fertilizer price is significantly lower than the conventional DAP, which will aid the government in reducing its financial burden. This development is also viewed as a fresh start towards achieving self-sufficiency in fertilizer production and usage in India.

How to Use Nano DAP

There are several ways to apply DAP fertilizer, depending on your preference and the needs of your plants: -

  • Knapsack Sprayers: Add 2-3 caps of Nano DAP liquid to a 15-16 litre tank.
  • Boom/Power Sprayers: Use 3-4 caps of Nano DAP for a 20-25 litre tank, with 4-6 tanks typically needed for a 1-acre crop area.
  • Drones: A quantity of 250 - 500 ml of Nano DAP liquid is needed per tank of 10-20 litre volume to cover a 1-acre crop area.
  • Foliar Spray: 2-4 ml per litre of water at the good foliage stage (Tillering/Branching) and 2nd spray at the Pre-Flowering/Late tillering stage.

Important Things to Remember

  • Always follow the recommended dosage on the fertilizer label. Too much DAP can damage your plants.
  • Test your soil before applying. This will help you determine the correct amount of fertilizer to use.
  • Water your plants thoroughly after applying DAP. This will help the fertilizer dissolve and move down into the soil.
  • Be mindful of the pH of your soil. DAP can raise the pH of the soil, which can be detrimental to some plants.
