Question

Which of the following is a water-soluble phosphatic fertilizer?

A.

Rock phosphate

B.

Single Super Phosphate (SSP)

C.

Diammonium phosphate (DAP)

D.

Basic slag

Correct option is C


· DAP (46% P₂O₅) is highly water-soluble, directly available to plants.
· FAO lists DAP as a completely water-soluble P fertilizer.
Why other options are wrong
· (a) Rock phosphate → not water soluble; citrate soluble only in acid soils.
· (b) SSP → contains monocalcium phosphate + gypsum; partly water-soluble, not fully.
· (d) Basic slag → low solubility P; used in acidic soils.
