Rethinking Phosphorus: Healthier Soils, Better Results

For decades, superphosphate has been the most widely used phosphorus fertiliser. While it delivers a quick boost, research shows much of its phosphorus becomes locked in the soil or lost through leaching, reducing long-term efficiency and increasing reliance on additional fertilisers.

At Biofert, we believe there’s a better way. Alternatives like Reactive Phosphate Rock (RPR) and our own BioPhos® provide phosphorus more steadily, protect soil structure, and reduce environmental losses. These options improve nutrient uptake, support healthy microbial activity, and deliver long-term productivity gains — without the hidden costs.

The result: soils stay healthier, plants grow stronger, and farmers and gardeners get more sustainable returns from their fertiliser investment.
