Rock Phosphate
Rock Phosphate
Rock Phosphate, also known as Rock Phosphate, is a naturally occurring mineral deposit rich in phosphorus (P₂O₅). It is widely used in agriculture as a slow-release phosphorus fertilizer and soil conditioner. Phosphorus is essential for root development, flowering, seed formation, and energy transfer (ATP) in plants. Rock Phosphorite is especially beneficial for acidic soils, where it becomes more soluble and available to crops. It is a cost-effective, eco-friendly, and sustainable source of phosphorus.
