Field trials that compare directly applied rock phosphate to soluble fertilizers show mixed results. Whereas rock phosphate has been shown to be generally less effective in sidebyside direct appliion experiments with single superphospate (SSP), triple superphosphate (TSP) or diammonium phosphate (DAP), there are situations where it produces similar results to its synthetic counterparts ...

The rock phosphate can be applied directly onto pasture, making it as effective as superphosphate. It is my understanding that this is because there is a direct reaction with acids in the soil –phosphate is slowly released and taken up by the pasture.
