What is Ammonium Phosphate Mono?
Ammonium Phosphate Mono (MAP), chemically known as Monoammonium Phosphate (NH4H2PO4), is a highly water-soluble fertiliser salt that provides both nitrogen and phosphorus — two essential plant macronutrients — in a single granule or crystal. It is one of the most widely used starter fertilisers globally due to its high phosphorus content and complete water solubility, making it valuable for both granular soil application and fertigation systems.
Polychem Industries supplies Ammonium Phosphate Mono in agricultural grade (MAP) and food grade to fertiliser manufacturers, hydroponic suppliers, and food and beverage fermentation industries across India and internationally. Its dual nutrient content and excellent water solubility make it one of the most versatile phosphate fertilisers available, while its food-grade form serves as an important yeast nutrient in fermentation applications.
Available Grades
| Grade | Form | Purity | Standard | Applications |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Agricultural Grade (MAP) | White crystalline powder/granules | 98%+ (Agricultural / Food Grade) | Fertiliser / Agricultural | Fertigation, starter fertilisers, foliar feeding, hydroponics |
| Food Grade | White crystalline powder | 99%+ | FSSAI / FCC | Yeast nutrient, baking, brewing fermentation aid |
Applications & Uses
Starter Fertilisers & Fertigation
One of the most widely used starter fertilisers globally. MAP provides readily available phosphorus critical for early root development, along with nitrogen, making it particularly valuable when applied at planting time or through fertigation systems during early crop growth stages.
Hydroponics & Soilless Culture
Used as a primary phosphorus and nitrogen source in hydroponic nutrient solutions due to its complete water solubility and well-characterised nutrient release, making precise nutrient formulation straightforward for growers.
High-Value Horticultural Crops
Used extensively in vegetable, fruit, and flower production where rapid, available phosphorus is critical for root establishment, flowering, and overall crop development, particularly during early growth stages.
Brewing & Fermentation (Food Grade)
Food Grade MAP is used as a yeast nutrient in brewing and fermentation processes, providing essential phosphorus and nitrogen that supports healthy yeast metabolism and fermentation performance.
Baking Yeast Nutrition (Food Grade)
Used in certain baking applications as a yeast nutrient additive, supporting yeast activity and fermentation performance in bread and baked goods production.
Compound Fertiliser Blending
Used as a component in NPK compound fertiliser blends, providing a concentrated, soluble source of phosphorus and nitrogen suited to various blended fertiliser formulations for different crop and soil requirements.
