Nutrient Mining in Agro-climatic Zones of Orissa

摘要

The current fertiliser use in Orissa is extremely low. This has resulted in lower yield levels of most of the crops. Evenand at this level of crop production nutrients added to the soil is only 50% of crop removal. Unless fertiliser consumption is substantially increased, apart from perpetuating lower yields, there is an immediate danger of a steep decline of existing crop yields.
