Future Defining
Plants can only absorb phosphorus in the form of free phosphate, however, the percentage of free phosphate in soil is low (a1). The reason for this is the rapid infiltration of the free phosphate into the groundwater (a2), as well as the formation of inorganic salts or organic compounds (a1). For this reason, 80% of the phosphate produced is used for fertilizer production. (a3).
