What are some of the applications for phosphonic acid?

are you sure you mean phosphonic not phosphoric?

phosphonic acids are chelating agents

industrial use of phosphonates is in cooling waters, desalination systems, and in oil fields to inhibit scale formation.

serve as carriers for radionuclides in bone cancer treatments

phosphonates are also used to treat "Sudden Oak Death"

I like the word radionuclides, even though I have no idea what it means.
