What is Phosphate Fertilizer? (with pictures)

Phosphate fertilizer in its liquid form can be easily applied to fields and crops. The process by which phosphate rock is converted to phosphate fertilizer involves treatment with sulfuric acid; the result is often called "super phosphate."This treatment with sulfuric acid draws the phosphates from the raw ore and creates a water soluble form.
