Some types of fertilizers are used too rarely, despite their value to the soil and crops.

This category of fertilizers includes phosphate flour, which acts for a long time and is considered safe.

This type of fertilizer is natural – essentially, it is a phosphorus fertilizer obtained by processing sedimentary rocks.

An expert from the online publication Belnovosti and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh will talk about the beneficial properties.

Why Use Phosphate Rock

The main reason is that plants need phosphorus and calcium. Phosphorus is a part of proteins, which participates in the construction of cells.

This important macronutrient improves the quality of fruits, is responsible for the formation of roots, flowering and increases the frost resistance of vegetables.

Plants need calcium because during the growing season this component participates in all important biochemical processes.

It influences the metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins, regulates water balance and participates in the formation and division of cells.
