Record 2 2014-02-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Agricultural Chemicals
  • Soil Improvement and Fertilizer Management
OBS

In the soil, phosphorus is often found in chemical forms that cannot immediately be absorbed by plants, so farmers commonly apply phosphorus to the soil. The common source for commercial phosphorus fertilizer is rock phosphate, a calcium phosphate ore found in deposits within the earth.

OBS

Phosphate is a major nutrient required for optimum crop nutrition and plant growth. Phosphate fertility is important for achieving high crop yields. Pulse crops, along with corn, canola and most legumes, are heavy users of phosphate.

OBS

There are several types of fertilizer available on the market, in both liquid and dry granular form.
