CEH: Superphosphates

Aug 2020. Normal superphosphate or single superphosphate (NSP, SSP) is used solely as a fertilizer material. NSP can be used with most crops and is applied during the planting season. NSP was the first major phosphate fertilizer and is produced from phosphate rock and sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Concentrated or triple superphosphate (CSP, TSP) is used exclusively as a fertilizer material. TSP is a solid single-nutrient phosphate fertilizer material produced from phosphate rock and phosphoric acid. TSP typically contains 44–46% anhydrous phosphoric acid (P2O5), more than twice the P2O5 content of normal superphosphate. It is applied mainly in areas where plants are grown in soils that have a low concentration of phosphorus, which is important for root development.
