Rock Phosphate contains P2O5 in insoluble form(insoluble in water of land so could not be useful) while Super phosphate fertilizers conatin P2O5 in soluble form(soluble in water under the earth and is useful and give fertility to land).So Superphosphate is more useful than Rock phosphate

Where the single super phosphate use?
single super phosphate or superphosphate of lime, Ca(H 2 PO 4 ) 2 , is a compound produced by treating rock phosphate with sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid, or a mixture of the two. It is the principal carrier of phosphate, the form of phosphorus usable by plants, and is one of the world's most important fertilizers. Ordinary superphosphate contains about 20% available phosphate; double superphosphate (also called treble superphosphate) contains 40%-50% available phosphate.
Manufacturing process of single super phosphate?
Triple Superphosphate is manufactured by reacting finely ground phosphate rock with Phosphoric Acid. It can also be manufactured using bi-product sludge from the Phosphoric Acid Industry.
What is phosphorus rock?
Phosphorite, phosphate rock or rock phosphate is a non-detrital sedimentary rock which contains high amounts of phosphate bearing minerals. See attached link for more information.
What is phosphate made of?
Phosphate is made of phosphorous and oxygen. The formula for the phosphate ion is PO43-.
Where is the leading export of phosphate rock?
The answer is "morrocco" the leadinng export of phosphate rock is Morrocco submitted by Daniel Billingsley
What are the types of superphosphate?
A superphosphate is a type of fertilizer that is made by treating phosphate rock with sulfuric or phosphoric acid. The three types of superphosphates are single, dicalcium and triple phosphate.

What acid is used in fertilizers and photographic film?
Nitric acidANsw2. Well, Superphosphate fertilizer is made by reacting rock phosphate with sulphuric acid.But both nitrates and ammonia are used by plants as fertilizers as a source of nitrogen.

Is rock phosphate soluble in water?
no
What is superphosphate fertilizers?
a naturally slow release phosphate fertilizer. plants need three major nutrients: nitrogen, phosphate, and potash (potassium) or NPK for short.Super phosphate is a fertilizer produced by the action of concentrated sulfuric acid H2SO4on powdered phosphate rock. Ca3(PO4). Calcium sulphate and calcium phosphate is yielded.3 Ca3(PO4)2 + 6 H2SO4 → 6 CaSO4 + 3 Ca(H2PO4)2Tomato plants and any flowering plant can use 1/3 more super phosphate if you are using NPK 10 10 10. Apply on the surface of the soil and it will be slow acting dissolving into the soil over a six month period with normal watering. The extra phosphate will also help build a stronger root and trunk system. In addition to adding phosphate it adds calcium, and sulfur to your garden soil. Since the phosphate rock it is made from is not pure it adds magnesium, manganese, copper, iron and other minor elements to your soil. The reaction with water is slightly acid. Your garden should be checked once a month for Ph, nitrogen, phosphate and potassium. Cheap test kits can be bought at your garden store.
