SINGLE SUPER PHOSPHATE

 🌾 SSP (Single Super Phosphate) – An Essential Nutrient for Paddy Cultivation

Rice farming is one of the most important pillars of Indian agriculture. To achieve higher yields, a balanced supply of nutrients is essential. SSP (Single Super Phosphate) is a vital phosphatic fertilizer that not only provides phosphorus, but also enriches the soil with sulphur (S) and calcium (Ca) — three key elements for healthy paddy growth.




🌱 Composition of SSP

✅Phosphorus (P₂O₅): 16%

✅Sulphur (S): 12%

✅Calcium (Ca): 20%

This unique combination supports strong root establishment and healthy early growth in paddy crops.


🌿 Major Benefits of SSP in Paddy

✨Promotes Strong Roots: Phosphorus helps in better root development and strong seedling establishment.

✨Improves Tillering: Ensures more productive tillers and uniform crop growth.

✨Enhances Grain Formation: Aids in panicle initiation and grain filling for higher yields.

✨Improves Soil Fertility: Sulphur and calcium enhance soil structure and microbial activity.

✨Supports Balanced Nutrition: Works best when used with nitrogen (urea) and potassium (MOP).


💧 When and How to Apply SSP in Paddy

Recommended Dose: 100–125 kg SSP per acre (≈ 250–300 kg/ha)

Application Time: Apply as basal dose during final puddling or just before transplanting.

Method: Broadcast uniformly and mix well into the soil.


Mrittika Harvest is continuously working to educate farmers on advanced farming techniques, efficient fertilizer use, organic and chemical input balance, and soil health improvement.

Our mission is sustainable farming, healthy soil, and prosperous farmers.

Facebook   🌾 Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF): A Silent Revolution Rooted in Indian Soil 🇮🇳 In the midst of rising input costs, unsustainable agricultural practices, and growing debt among farmers, a quiet but powerful revolution is unfolding across India's farmlands. It's called Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) —a farmer-driven movement that redefines how we grow food by going back to our roots. 🌱 What is ZBNF? Zero Budget Natural Farming is not just a method—it's a philosophy. Developed by Padma Shri awardee Subhash Palekar , ZBNF empowers farmers to produce healthy, chemical-free crops without the need for loans or costly inputs . The term "zero budget" refers to the elimination of external expenses —farmers use locally available resources like cow dung, urine, jaggery, and native seeds to nourish the soil and protect crops naturally. 🧪 The 4 Pillars of ZBNF Jeevamrutha – A microbial-rich tonic made from local cow dung and urine, jaggery, an...
