Egyptian RP is a fertilizer derived from processed raw materials primarily composed of calcium phosphate minerals. This material originates from rocks that are processed into powder form and directly applied in agriculture. Egyptian RP can be modified into powder, granule, or granular forms to suit application needs. The fertilizer is called "Egyptian RP" because it is imported from Egypt.
Key Nutrients:
- Phosphate (P2O5): Egyptian RP is primarily used to meet the need for phosphate in the form of P2O5, which is essential for plant growth.
Uses and Applications:
The uses of Egyptian RP are similar to Peruvian RP, as this fertilizer provides essential phosphate for agriculture, supports root growth, and enhances soil quality. Egyptian RP can be directly applied to agricultural land and is suitable for a wide range of crops, including food crops, vegetables, seasonal crops, and perennial/plantation crops.
Quality Standards:
Egyptian RP complies with the quality standards for natural phosphate fertilizers in agriculture, as regulated by specific requirements. Table 1 below outlines the quality standards that natural phosphate fertilizers must meet for agricultural use.
