dry fertiliser question

[nilesh7318]

I have got all the dry fertilisers for PPS PRO method. but I have got mono ammonium phosphate instead of mono potassium phosphate as it was not avaliable where I live.
hence can I use this mono ammonium phosphate instead of mono potassium phosphate,,,
will that have any ill effects on plant health.any suggestions

I don't think it will have much of an impact on your plants, but you'll be dosing ammonia directly into the tank. I would have to run some numbers to see how high it would actually go up though, it might be a trivial amount.

Thanks for reply, so I think it would not matter much. But it can be used to add phosphate. In pps pro method the mono potassium phosphate is used in very small quantities as compared to potassium nitrate and potassium sulphate.
so very less of ammonia would be present
