Best Answer

superphosphates are water soluble fertilisers and are used extensively to promote root growth especially plants belonging to the clover family .They are manufactured by mixing finely ground rock phosphates with sulphuric acid (produced by burning sulphur and absobing the SO2 gas produced in water). The final product is a mixture of dicalcium phosphate and calcium sulphate. Brian Robertson New Zealand
