Extensive trials have shown that Fibrophos is a very effective source of phosphate across a wide range of agricultural soil types throughout the UK. 

The phosphate in Fibrophos is more than 80% soluble in 2% citric acid and nearly half is soluble in neutral ammonium citrate providing a long lasting as well as immediate supply to the growing crop.

Levington Agriculture trials showed that application of Fibrophos to both acid and alkaline grassland or arable crops significantly increased available soil phosphate within one month and this increase was maintained for at least 12 months.

As a long lasting source therefore, Fibrophos is ideal for raising the soil phosphate status and maintaining it. Used for this purpose when soil phosphate is 0 or 1, Fibrophos can be applied at 625kg/ha (5-6 cwt/acre) every two to three years depending on crop potential. This will provide an adequate level of phosphate to ensure full effectiveness of nitrogen or compound fertilisers.

• Phosphate is not prone to leaching, so can be applied at any time of year.

• Phosphate is essential for plant growth development.

• Citric soluble phosphate helps build up soil fertility over time.

• Low phosphate levels across the UK are limiting yields of grass and clover leys.

• Phosphate raises the mineral content of grass and improves the root system.

• Silage removes up to 2kg of phosphate per tonne of 20% DM silage.
