In most current fertilzers Phosphate has been taken out. Usually it is only in there to encourage root develpment. Most fertilizers for established grass no longer have phosphate in them (and if they do it is a pretty small percentage). The only fertilizers out there where the phosphate percentage is still high are seed starting fertilizers.
