What is Diammonium Phosphate (DAP)?

Diammonium phosphate (DAP) is one of the most widely used phosphate fertilizers globally, valued for its high nutrient content and ease of application. It provides essential nitrogen and phosphorus, which are critical for plant growth and higher crop yields. Apart from agriculture, DAP also finds applications in fire retardants, metal finishing, and industrial processes. With the rising global demand for food security and the need for efficient fertilizers, the DAP market is witnessing strong growth.

Neutralization Reaction – Ammonia is reacted with phosphoric acid under controlled conditions.
Granulation – The resulting slurry is granulated into solid particles.
Drying and Cooling – Moisture is removed to stabilize the granules.
Screening – Uniform particle sizes are separated.
Quality Testing – Product is tested for nutrient composition and moisture levels.
Packaging – Final DAP fertilizer is packaged in moisture-proof bags.
