Although rock phosphate (apatite) is a cheaper source of P than the conventional more easily soluble P fertilizers (e.g. triple superphosphate [calcium dihydrogen phosphate]) (Sharif et al., 2013) explaining its less use in Pakistan, however its low solubility in calcareous soils, is a major reason for its unpopularity. Enhancing the …

Other benefits to the direct use of rock phosphate are: 1. It is relatively cheap compared to inorganic/chemical phosphorus fertilizers. 2. It is environmentally friendly. As a natural source of phosphorus, it avoids the use of inorganic fertilizers which contribute to green house gas emission during its manufacturing process. 3.

Phosphate ores typically contain about 1500 Bq/kg of uranium and radium, although some phosphates contain up to 20,000 Bq/kg of U 3 O 8 (Paschoa and Godoy, 2002). In general, phosphate ores of sedimentary origin have higher concentrations of radionuclides of the uranium family. In 90% of cases, the ore is treated with sulfuric acid.

Alfisols and Ultisols of the semi-deciduous forest zone of Ghana are known to be moderately acid and very low in plant available phosphorus (P). These soils need to be fertilized to increase crop production but due to economic reasons local farmers are unable to afford water-soluble P fertilizers. Instead of expensive superphosphates, the use …
