摘要: A simplified, commercially feasible, split-addition method of producing a liquid, sprayable fertilizer composition which contains ammonium phosphates is disclosed yields with improved storage properties over prior compositions this type and capable being sprayed using existing equipment minimum clogging problems. The includes initially admixing fractional portion total quantity monoammonium phosphate (MAP) to be employed water adding ammonia thereto so as induce an essentially instantaneous ammoniation reaction; the remainder MAP then added yield final composition. addition suspending agent usually desirable. This split (most preferably 70% - 30% split) unexpectedly serves minimize formation large crystals in fertilizer, that are can without fear frequent spraying equipment.
