Fertilizers

Fertilizer is a kingpin in enhancing crop production. It is also a key to securing the food need of a country. No country has been able to increase agricultural productivity without expanding the use of chemical industry. Balanced fertilization means application of essential plant nutrients, particularly the major nutrients, N, P and K in optimum quantity through correct method and time of application in right proportion.
