🌱 HOW TO USE MAP (Monoammonium phosphate) FERTILISER

Please note that this is strong fertiliser and over-usage can casue problems for your plants.

Perfect for vegetables, flowers, fruit trees & seedlings

MAP (Monoammonium phosphate) is a high-phosphorus fertiliser, ideal for:

Boosting root growth Improving flowering
Strengthening young plants & transplants
Correcting phosphorus deficiency

Because MAP is strong, you only need small amounts.

✅ GENERAL MIXING GUIDELINES

Please note that each soil and plant may require different dosage. Make sure to consult with a professional with regards to your specific plants requirement. The below information is only general guide.

These rates are safe for most home gardens:

1️⃣ Soil Drench / Watering Can Application

Best for veggies, herbs, flowers, seedlings and new transplants.

Mix:
👉 5 grams (1 teaspoon) per 5 litres of water

Use:
Water around the base of the plant.
Apply every 2–3 weeks during early growth or flowering.

2️⃣ Foliar Spray (Fast Correction of P Deficiency)

Sprays phosphorus directly onto leaves for rapid uptake.

Mix:
👉 2 grams per 1 litre of water
(½ teaspoon per litre — do NOT exceed.)

Use:
Spray lightly on foliage in early morning or late afternoon.
Repeat every 2–3 weeks if needed.

3️⃣ Seedlings & Transplants (Root Booster)

MAP is excellent for young plants.

Mix:
👉 1–2 grams per 1 litre of water

Use:
Water seedlings or new transplants once per week for 2 weeks, then switch to your normal fertiliser routine.

4️⃣ Fruit Trees (Young Trees or Early Season Growth)

Mix:
👉 10 grams (approx. 2 teaspoons) per 10 litres of water

Use:
Water around the drip line of the tree.
Repeat monthly during early season growth.

⚠️ IMPORTANT NOTES

Do not mix MAP with calcium fertilisers (e.g., Cal-Nitrate) in the same container — they can react and form residue.
Use clean water and mix until fully dissolved.
Store MAP in a dry, sealed container — it absorbs moisture easily.
Avoid overuse: MAP is strong; more is not better.
