MAP or monoammonium phosphate is a fast-absorbing fertilizer, ideal for readily supplying nitrogen and phosphorus to plants.
Source of phosphorus (P) and nitrogen (N), MAP offers balanced nutrition for planting, promoting rapid germination and development of the root system, allowing for the healthy and continuous growth of coffee, corn, soybean, citrus, beans , cotton, among others.
The monoammonium phosphate fertilizer (MAP) has high solubility and can be used in a mixture or in pure form in crops that lack phosphorus and nitrogen, in addition, it guarantees excellent results and presents high yields.
Type of use
Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) is used in crops that require rapid absorption of phosphorus and nitrogen. These nutrients are vital for rapid germination and vegetation.
Usage recommendations
Casting and or furrow application during sowing.

Good habits
Storage recommendations
The ideal storage conditions should be highlighted:
- Enclosed place to protect MAP fertilizer from bad weather (soil, rain and fog) and especially direct sunlight.
- Environment protected from moisture, which can cause agglomerations and dust, impairing spreading capabilities.
- Open storage should be avoided. If there is no alternative, the place must be well drained and the packages must be placed on pallets or pallets (thermal protection).
- Cover the piles with heavy-duty plastic wrap or tarp to withstand adverse weather.
- Carry out the lashing with a strong rope.
- Use pallets on top of the pile and white plastic films to avoid temperatures exceeding 32°C (50°C) for fertilizers based on ammonium nitrate, avoiding thermocycling with expansion and contraction of the granules until they rupture, generating dust.
How to transport the goods
The forklift must be suitable for the load to be moved. When moving Big Bags suspended by the forklift forks, there is a danger of the forklift becoming unstable. The container should be placed close to the forklift tower and as low as possible, with the tower tilted back slightly.
Make sure the Big Bag body is not damaged by the forklift wheels. The load must not restrict the operator’s view. Big Bags must not be dragged. The forklift must come to a complete stop before the Big Bag is raised or lowered.
Health and safety
Hazards identification
- It is essential that people directly involved in handling products, big bags or sacks use the respective personal protective equipment (PPE) appropriate to the activity and product to be handled.
- Unsuitable for human and animal consumption.
- Avoid inhalation and contact with eyes and skin.
- Keep out of the reach of children and animals.
Main risks
Stacking a maximum of 3 Big-bags in height, always respect the height limit of the stacks. If the batteries are above the ideal limit, they run the risk of becoming unstable and collapsing, which can cause accidents, in addition to impairing the quality of the products.
The Monoammonium Phosphate fertilizer must be stored on a well-drained surface, with a firm base, if possible on pallets and with a distance of 1 meter from the walls of the shed. The use of a mechanical arm coupled to tractors or motorized forklifts is recommended as preferred for unloading packages and forming loads, both for big bags and for pallets with sacks.
The pile must not tilt. If this happens, immediate storage is necessary, preferably mechanically, with the utmost attention to the possibility of the packaging(s) collapsing and the risk of accidents.
The pile must be protected with canvas, fixing it well around the packaging.
In the event of an accident with the product
Seek medical attention in case of ingestion or any adverse reaction.
Product validity
Indicated on the label next to the guarantees, provided that the indicated storage conditions are observed.
