Sep 24, 2016· Eppawala phosphate has a high phosphorous content, but its low solubility limits its direct application to crops. The Industrial Development Ministry of Sri Lanka permitted a foreign company to mine, refine and export 40,000 metric tonnes of Eppawala phosphate per year for a .

Phosphorite, rock with a high concentration of phosphates in nodular or compact masses. The phosphates may be derived from a variety of sources, including marine invertebrates that secrete shells of calcium phosphate, and the bones and excrement of vertebrates.

I think that there are 2 types of rock phosphate. One is hard rock phosphate (not very useful for produce) and the other is soft rock phosphate-the soft rock that we apply is called Cal-Phos and I think that it's 0-3-0 (3% available and 20% total). It is .
