Match the following columns:
| Column I (Fertilisers) | Column II (P2O5 content %) |
| a. SSP | 1. 40 - 48 |
| b. TSP | 2. 16 - 20 |
| c. DAP | 3. 20 - 30 |
| d. Rock phosphate | 4. 54 |
Answer & Solution
Answer: Option
A
Solution:
SSP (Single Super Phosphate) is the most popular phosphatic fertilizer. The percentage of P2O5 is approximately 16 - 20% in SSP.
TSP (Triple Super Phosphate), is a chemical fertilizer with a P2O5 content of over 40 - 48%.
DAP (Diammonium Phosphate) is a widely used phosphate-based fertilizer with a phosphorus content of 54%.
Rock phosphate is the phosphorite, is mined from clay deposits that contain phosphorus and is used to make organic phosphate fertilizers that many gardeners utilize. It contains 20 - 30% of P2O5.
