Phosphorus is an essential nutrient for plant growth. It is a component of DNA, RNA, and ATP, the energy currency of the cell. Phosphorus also helps plants produce proteins, carbohydrates, and other essential compounds.

Phosphatic fertilizers can help improve crop yields, the quality of fruits and vegetables, and the resistance of plants to pests and diseases. Studies have shown that phosphatic fertilizers can increase crop yields by up to 30%. Phosphorus helps plants produce better-tasting and more nutritious fruits and vegetables. It also helps plants produce stronger cell walls and other defense mechanisms, which can improve their resistance to pests and diseases.
