An investigation of the magnetization of water and its influence on the solubility of Monoammonium Phosphate

Fertilization is one of the essential techniques in agriculture. Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) is the most widely used in the field of soil fertilization. The effectiveness of MAP in the field of fertigation, depends on its solubility in water. Three experimental factors such as MAP content, magnetization time, and water type were taken into account to optimize the experimental factors for a large value of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). In our study, we chose the complete factorial model by the Minitab software, 9 experiments (3*3). The TDS is clearly influenced by the type of water, followed by magnetization time and finally the MAP content. The percentage contribution of water type, magnetization time (tm), and MAP content on the TDS was 68%, 17%, 4%, respectively. The optimal balance of factors for a value of TDS large was 16% MAP, 10 min water magnetization, and type of water (Tap water). The outcomes of this paper can encourage farmers to adopt more environmentally friendly farming practices in their management of fertigation.
