The common source for commercial phosphorus fertilizer is rock phosphate, a calcium phosphate ore found in deposits within the earth. 4, record 1, English, - phosphate%20fertilizer

Les phosphates constituent des composés de base indispensables à toute forme de vie végétale ou animale. On les emploie surtout pour la fabrication d'engrais [...] Pour la fertilisation des terres, les principaux engrais phosphatés sont les suivants : les phosphates naturels, obtenus par mouture des phosphates géologiques et qui contiennent du phosphate de calcium (tricalcique) et du carbonate de calcium; les superphosphates, obtenus par l'action de l'acide sulfurique ou d'une combinaison d'acide sulfurique et d'acide phosphorique sur les phosphates naturels et qui contiennent essentiellement du phosphate monocalcique; le phosphate bicalcique obtenu par voie chimique. 2, record 1, French, - engrais%20phosphat%C3%A9
