DAP is a high analysis compound fertiliser that contains nitrogen, phosphate along with a small amount of sulphur and can be used in many applications within pastoral and arable farming.

Benefits
• An ideal starter fertiliser for a wide range of crops.
• Suitable for use as a general maintenance fertiliser in pastoral settings.
• Provides water-soluble phosphate, which is immediately available for plant uptake.

DAP can also be used as a starter fertiliser when sowing crops by drilling with the seed (in a separate box). The typical application rate is 200-300 kg DAP/ha. Do not allow DAP to come into contact with the seed.

Directions for use
May be broadcast to pasture, soil or crop, or drilled.

DAP can be used as a starter fertiliser when re-grassing. If the new grass is being drilled, and the drill has a fertiliser box, use DAP at 150-200 kg/ha.

If the fertiliser cannot be drilled, then broadcast at a higher rate, e.g. 250 kg DAP/ha when re-grassing. This will help to get the grass off to a better start, reducing the likelihood of weed ingress and pest damage.

Storage information
To maintain product quality, DAP should be stored in cool, dry conditions and should not be stored for a prolonged period.

Keep out of reach from children and pets.

WARNING - Avoid placement near waterways.
For detailed advice on good fertiliser spreading practice, see the guidelines in the Code of Practice for Nutrient Management, which can be downloaded from fertiliser.org.nz.
