Abstract
“Nitrophosphate” is a generally accepted term for any fertilizer that is produced by a process involving treatment of phosphate rock with nitric acid. The term “nitric phosphate” has been used to some extent, particularly by TVA, but on a worldwide basis “nitrophosphate” seems to be more generally accepted.
