Scientists at the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan conducted experiments with waste from phosphorus production and developed a new method for obtaining meliorant from phosphogypsum enriched with sulfur and nitrogen. The Turkmenabat Chemical Plant named after S.A. Nyyazov produces this product.
This fertilizer improves soil composition by adding deficient elements and increasing crop yields, as reported by the newspaper Turkmenistan, published on Monday.
The Turkmenabat Chemical Plant actively develops new product types. The plant expanded its range by adding the production of oxyhumate, which enhances soil fertility by 20-25%, as well as lubricants for industry and polyethylene film for greenhouse farms.
Phosphorus fertilizer production remains a key focus for the plant. Last year, it produced 184,100 tons.
Collaboration with research institutions and the private sector helps the plant improve processes and develop new products. The plant meets domestic market needs and exports products to neighboring countries.
The S.A. Nyyazov Chemical Plant in Turkmenabat, which began operations in 1960, stands as the only producer of phosphorus fertilizers in the country. It supplies agriculture with key mineral fertilizers such as superphosphate and ammophos. Over its history, the plant has diversified its production to include various types of fertilizers, including ammonium superphosphate and organomineral mixtures.
