Super phosphate is a fertilizer produced by the action of concentrated sulfuric acid on powdered phosphate rock.
Ca3(PO4)2 + 2H2SO4 �¨ Ca(H2PO4)2 + 2CaSO4
Super phosphate can be created naturally in large quantities by the action of guano, or bird feces, resulting in deposits around sea bird colonies which can be mined. It is an essential plant nutrient which helps the plant to develop critical phosphatides like nucleic acids, proteins, phospholipids & co enzymes. It helps in cell division and stimulates root development. It is essential for growth of meristematic growth of seeds & fruits.
