13. Depleting soil organic matter
Imbalance in fertilizer use
Emerging multi-nutrient deficiencies
Declining nutrient use efficiency
Declining crop response ratio
Negative soil nutrient balance
14. NPK Ratios across states in India for 2013
EAST SOUTH
Bihar 12.3 : 3.6 : 1 Andhra Pradesh 7.1 : 2.8 : 1
Orissa 6.2 : 2.4 : 1 Karnataka 3.6 : 1.6 : 1
West Bengal 2.9 : 1.6 : 1 Tamil Nadu 3.9 : 1.5 : 1

Punjab 61.7 : 19.2 : 1 Maharashtra 3.5 : 1.8 : 1
Uttar Pradesh 25.2 : 8.8 : 1 Rajasthan 44.9 : 16.5 : 1
15. Nutrient Efficiency Cause of low efficiency
Nitrogen 30-50 %
Immobilization,
volatilization,
denitrification, Leaching
Phosphorus 15-20%
Fixation in soils Al – P, Fe
– P, Ca – P
Potassium 70-80% Fixation in clay - lattices
Sulphur 8-10%
Immobilization, Leaching
with water
Micro nutrients (Zn, Fe,
Cu, Mn, B)
1-2% Fixation in soils
17. Reasons:
Inadequate and imbalanced fertiliser use
Increasing multi-nutrient deficiency
Lack of farmers awareness about balanced
plant nutrition
Poor crop management (Excess fertiliser
dose not be the substitute of poor
management)

19. Suggested Medium term Strategy
Use of optimal dose based on soil health status.
Promotion of Neem-Coated Urea.
Promotion of Micronutrients.
Promotion of Organic Fertilizers.
Promotion of Water Soluble Fertilizer under NHM.
20. Operational Issues
Quality Control & Enforcement of FCO mandated standards.
Strengthening of the enforcement measures to prevent
hoarding/ black marketing/ Smuggling /diversion of
subsidised fertilizers to non-agriculture use.
Operationalisation of mFMS at the retailer level.
Close Coordination with Suppliers and timely placement of
Indent with Railways.
Collaboration in the Pilot Project for tracking & tracing of
fertilizers sales.
