Phosphatic ores are naturally occurring mineral deposits that contain significant amounts of phosphate minerals, primarily in the form of apatite. These ores are the primary source of phosphorus, an essential nutrient for plants and animals, and are commonly used in fertilizers. The extraction and processing of phosphatic ores are crucial for agricultural productivity and food security. Major deposits are found in regions such as North America, North Africa, and parts of Asia.
Phosphates are excellent fertilizers. The presence of phosphorous in the soil is vital for successful plat propagation. There are two important phosphatic fertilizers - Super Phosphatic and Triple Phosphatic fertilizers.
This is a fertilizer containing ammonium phosphates.
Phosphates are natural minerals; but phosphatic fertilizers are products of the chemical industry.

Their importance is that these ores can be extracted into metals .
