Triple super phosphate contains
A. 40 - 48% P2O5
B. 16 - 20% P2O5
C. 60% P2O5
D. 25 - 30% P2O5
Answer: Option A
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Triple super phosphate contains about 40 - 48% soluble monocalcium phosphate [(H2PO4)2 • H2O]. when it dissolves in water, its phosphorus is negatively charged (-1).TSP fertilizers are preferred as starter fertilizers for low soils. It can be used for all plants that are grown in soils with low or moderate phosphorus availability. When phosphorus is applied less than required or applied phosphorus has low efficiency due to soil conditions.
