Phosphoric acid
Phosphoric acid
Phosphoric Acid (H₃PO₄) is a highly concentrated phosphorus source widely used in agriculture as a fertilizer, pH regulator, and water treatment agent. It plays a crucial role in plant growth, particularly in root development, flowering, and fruit formation. Being fully water-soluble, it is ideal for fertigation, hydroponics, and foliar applications, ensuring rapid phosphorus availability. Additionally, it helps manage irrigation water alkalinity, improving nutrient uptake efficiency.

Usage Note
1)Fertigation: 0.5–1.5 L per 1000 L of irrigation water (depending on crop stage and soil conditions).
2)Foliar Spray: 1–2 ml per liter of water (apply during vegetative and reproductive stages).
3)Hydroponics: Add as per required phosphorus concentration in solution.
4)Do not mix with calcium- or magnesium-based fertilizers in concentrated form (may cause precipitation).
5)Always dilute before application and conduct a jar test before mixing with other agrochemicals.
