Phosphorus

• Phosphorus is often viewed as an oligoelement due to its concentration in the plant, but its physiological function makes it a biogenic element essential for most reactions in the plant.
• In our experience, phosphate fertilisation has a beneficial effect on yields and especially on the quality of production for every crop grown throughout the country. This is because phosphorus is important in the formation of sugars, which are the product of a fundamental biochemical reaction in plants – photosynthesis.

The following respond best to phosphorus nutrition:

• cereals,
• oilseeds,
• fruit trees,
• sugar beet,
• potatoes,
• vegetables.

The following exhibit a moderate response:

• legumes,
