Fertiliser shortage hits crops in many states

Farmers say the scarcity has led to a price rise in Punjab as they are forced to buy one bag of DAP for ₹1,400 against the printed price of ₹1,200. They have to buy an additional bag of sulfur, phosphorus and a bio-fertiliser along with a bag of DAP.

The total requirement of DAP is 5.5 lakh MT for rabi crop. Of this, 4.8 lakh MT was required during October-November for timely sowing of wheat crop. Currently these states have only 1.5 lakh MT.
