Products acidulated with H('2)SO('4) were also prepared using different drying temperatures. Phosphorus availability was measured by dry-matter yield and P uptake in greenhouse experiments with maize. It was observed that partial acidulation with H('2)SO('4) was effective in increasing the water-soluble P level of phosphate rock when the drying temperature of the productwas not excessive. Crop response and P uptake were both highly correlated to the water
