Abstract
Phosphate fertilizers described in previous chapters cover a wide range of solubilities in water and soil. In contrast, all popular nitrogen and potassium fertilizers are water soluble. Also, the most popular phosphate fertilizers contain other primary or secondary nutrients--nitrogen (ammonium phosphates and nitrophosphates), calcium, magnesium, and/or sulfur. Selection of a phosphate fertilizer is therefore relatively complex.
