Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

When placed in soil, monocalcium phosphate dissolves readily. Its dissolution is limited only by the rate at which water can reach the fertiliser granule.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Monocalcium phosphate monohydrate dissolves readily when placed in soil and undergoes partial hydrolysis to dicalcium phosphate dihydrate.
