Abstract Phosphate rocks partially acidulated either with H3PO4 or H2SO4 were compared against SSP or TSP as phosphate fertilizers for permanent pasture. Eleven field trials were conducted over periods of up to 6 yrs. Fertilizers were surface applied annually. Initial soil pHw values ranged from 5.5–6.3 and Soil P retention from 25% to 97%. The PRs used for partial acidulation were unground or ground North Carolina PR, ground Khouribga PR, and a blend of ground PRs of North Carolina, Arad and Khouribga PRs. From the DM yields, fertilizer substitution values were calculated: fertilizer substitution value was the ratio of total P applied as superphosphate to total P as PAPR required to produce the same DM yield. Rates of dissolution of the PR component of PAPRs were also determined in soils collected from two trials. Agronomic results demonstrated that 30% acidulated phosphoric PAPRs (about 50% of total P as water-soluble P) were as effective as TSP, when the PR acidulated was from unground North Carolina PR. Results from one field trial indicated that when PAPR was from ground North Carolina PR, 20% acidulated product (water-soluble P 30–40% of total P) was equally effective as TSP. Replacement of ground North Carolina PR by a less reactive Khouribga PR did not appear to decrease the yield. Results indicated that per unit P released into soil solution, PAPRs were more efficient fertilizers than TSP. With annual applications, fertilizer substitution value of PAPR 30% tended to increase with time. Sulphuric PAPRs prepared from North Carolina PR were generally inferior to phosphoric PAPRs containing similar amounts of water-soluble P. This was attributed to the presence of CaSO4 coatings.
