Rock Phosphate
Natural Phosphorus Source for Soil Enrichment and Crop Growth
Rock Phosphate, also known as Phosphate Rock, is a naturally occurring mineral used as a phosphorus fertilizer. It's particularly effective in acidic soils, where it slowly releases phosphorus, improving soil fertility and supporting crop development over time.
