Phosphate is a Critical Nutrient–In the Right Amount and the Right Place
Phosphate is an essential nutrient and a building block of life. Conventional sources of phosphate fertilizer are highly inefficient and water soluble. Every growing season, over 80% of applied phosphate is lost to soil tie-up, nutrient runoff and leaching. If mismanaged, it can cause nutrient overloads in waterways, contributing to toxic algae blooms harmful to aquatic life.
