Careful application of fertilizers is essential to ensure proper dose, timing, and observing pre- and post-application precautions for maximizing their utilization and minimizing environmental impact.

Fertilizers contribute to higher yields in high-cost farming by providing essential nutrients for optimal plant growth and productivity.

Fertilizers ensure good vegetative growth, including leaves, branches, and flowers, promoting overall plant health and vitality.

Fertilizers are commercially produced plant nutrients containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, vital for healthy vegetative growth.

Examples of plants used for green manure include sun hemp, guar, clover, vetch, and ryegrass.

Green manure enriches soil fertility by adding nitrogen and phosphorus as the green plants decompose, enhancing soil nutrient levels.

Green manure refers to plants like sun hemp or guar that are grown and then ploughed into the soil before sowing crop seeds to enrich it with nutrients.

In India, various irrigation systems are employed to cater to the diverse water resources and climates. These include well irrigation, canal irrigation, river irrigation, and tank irrigation.

Drought-tolerant crop varieties help mitigate the impact of drought by providing farmers with resilient options that can withstand water scarcity, maintain yields even during dry periods, and contribute to food security and agricultural sustainability in drought-prone regions.

Scientists have developed crop varieties that can tolerate drought conditions by possessing traits such as deep root systems, efficient water use, and the ability to maintain growth and productivity under limited water availability.
