Rock Phosphate Crushed - Organic Fertilizer

Rock Phosphate is a naturally occurring organic phosphorus fertilizer made from finely ground phosphate rock. It releases nutrients slowly through soil microbial activity, making it ideal for gardeners who focus on long-term soil fertility, strong roots, and sustained flowering rather than quick chemical feeding.

Because of its gradual action, rock phosphate improves soil health over time while supporting healthy plant growth without the risk of root burn.

Suitable for vegetables or herbs, e.g., tomatoes, dhania, chillies, flowering plants, fruit plants, and trees grown in pots or ground.

Key Benefits

• Encourages deep and strong root development
• Improves flowering and fruit formation naturally
• Provides long-lasting phosphorus with slow release
• Builds soil fertility instead of short-term feeding
• Safe for organic and edible gardening

Best Uses

• Vegetables & Herbs: root strength and flowering support
• Flowering Plants: healthier buds and consistent blooms
• Fruit Plants & Trees: steady phosphorus supply for long-term growth
• Pot Gardening: gentle feeding without nutrient shock

How to Use

For Pot Plants

• Mix 1–2 tablespoons into the top soil of a 10–12 inch pot
• Water well after application
• Frequency: once every 2–3 months

For Garden Beds

• Apply 200–300 g per 100 sq ft
• Mix evenly into the soil before planting or during soil preparation
• Frequency: once per growing season
  • For intensive planting, repeat after 3 months

For Fruit Plants and Trees

• Use 200–500 g per plant depending on plant size
• Apply around the root zone and mix lightly into the soil
• Frequency: 2 times per year
  • Once at the start of the growing season
  • Once before flowering

Best Practice

Rock phosphate performs best when used alongside organic matter such as vermicompost, neem cake, or mustard cake powder, which improve microbial activity and nutrient availability.

How Long Does Rock Phosphate Take to Work?

Rock phosphate is slow-acting by nature.

• Initial benefits are usually seen in 3–6 weeks
• Full results develop gradually as soil microbes make phosphorus available
• Best results appear with seasonal or repeated use

This makes it ideal for soil building, not instant deficiency correction.

Rock Phosphate vs Bone Meal

• Rock Phosphate: very slow release, improves soil fertility long term, ideal for ongoing organic gardening
• Bone Meal: faster phosphorus availability but shorter-lasting effect

For gardeners focused on soil health and sustained nutrition, rock phosphate is the better long-term option.

Safety for Edible Plants

Rock Phosphate is safe for vegetables and fruits when used as recommended.

• No waiting period is required before harvest
• Always wash produce thoroughly before use

FAQs

Can I use rock phosphate in pots regularly?
Yes. Applying it once every 2–3 months is sufficient for pot-grown plants.

Will using more give faster results?
No. Excess application does not speed up results because phosphorus becomes available gradually.

Is it suitable for flowering plants?
Yes. It supports bud development and flowering when used consistently over time.

Does soil type affect performance?
Yes. It works best in soils rich in organic matter with good microbial activity.

Can I combine it with other fertilizers?
Yes. It works very well with organic inputs like vermicompost, neem cake, and mustard cake.
