Phosphorus is one of the 16-17 nutrients that are necessary for healthy plants and soils. Artificial, commercial, conventional, synthetic fertilizers recognize the critical role of phosphorus in plant growth. For they are called N-P-K fertilizers, because of their emphasis on the proportions of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. A phosphorus deficiency shows up in a lack of overall good plant health. For example, plant growth may be stunted.
