Which of the following fertilizers, contains 75% nutrients:

Correct answer: A. DAP

  • A. DAP
  • B. TAP
  • C. Urea
  • D. NH4NO3

Explanation

DAP typically contains around 18% nitrogen (N) and 46% phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5). Since phosphorus pentoxide (P2O5) is approximately 44.7% phosphorus (P), if we consider the phosphorus content, DAP contains about 21% phosphorus. Therefore, the total nutrient content in DAP is approximately 18% nitrogen + 21% phosphorus = 39%. While this falls short of 75%, it is the closest option among the provided choices.
