| phosphorous |
One of the nine macronutrients. It is a component of nucleic acid (genetic material), of ADP and ATP (which are vehicles of energy transfer in and amongst cells), and of several coenzymes (which activate biochemical processes). It is responsible for root development, as well as flower and fruit formation. Phosphorus deficiencies are difficult to identify, but you may see a reddening or general darkening of the foliage. Chicken manure is phosphorus rich, more so than other manures. ...

| phosphate |
Phosphate --in the form of rock phosphate-- is a dry organic fertilizer used to boost phosphorous levels in the soil. Rock phosphate is slow to dissolve in water, so adding it will benefit the soil over a period of years. The phosphate found in many synthetic fertilizers is usually from rock phosphate treated with sulfuric acid to make it more soluble and thus more readily available to plants (called superphosphate).
