Fertiliser scarcity hits many states, crops affected

FARMERS in Punjab, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh have complained of a shortage of Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) fertiliser since few weeks, saying the shortage will affect crops.

While the sowing season for mustard began in the first week of October, the sowing season for gram and wheat has started and will continue up to November 15.

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. Moreover, they have to buy an additional bag of sulfur, phosphorus, bio-fertiliser along with a bag of DAP.
