Agricultural Situation in India
Indian agriculture witnessed a phenomenal growth during the decades of 1970s and 1980s. The fertilizers contributed almost 60 per cent of the incremental output of foodgrains during this period. The study was undertaken in five states viz. Haryana, Tamil Nadu, Assam, Punjab and West Bengal during 2004-05 to maintain proper sample spread and to represent the areas of high and low fertilizer use across the country.
