The invention discloses an acid-proof, moisture-holding and superactive special fertilizer technology for forestry and an additive. The technology comprises the steps of mixing and adding attapulgite, straw ash of power plants, sodium hexametaphosphate and aminothiopropionic acid into tap water so as to prepare turbid liquid, adding acrylamide, N,N'-methylene bisacrylamide and hydrogen peroxide into the turbid liquid, carrying out gamma ray irradiation on the obtained mixture, drying the obtained product until the weight of the obtained product is constant, crushing and sieving the obtained product, mixing the obtained powder with ammonium polyacrylate so as to obtain a special fertilizer additive for forestry, adding the additive into a common fertilizer, and granulating the obtained mixture so as to obtain a special fertilizer for forestry. The fertilizer has the advantages of water holding, fertilizer maintenance and capability of improving the acidic soil; meanwhile, through taking straw ash of power plants as a raw material, the straw ash of power plants is changed into things of value, thereby saving the cost, and further facilitating the large-scale application of the technology and the additive in forestry.
