    An Economic Analysis of Fertilizer Use in mahendergarh District of Haryana
    (Chaudhary Charan Singh Haryana Agricultural Univesity, Hisar, 1985) Kumar, Kuldeep; Gangwar, A. C.
    The productivity of agriculture in most of the developing countries in the South-East Asia region is low. The main reason for this backwardness is the lack of adoption of improved techniques by the farmer. The problem has been compounded by the sharp escalation in fertilizer prices, lack of the right type of fertilizer material when most needed and inadequate extension and prooioticn efforts. The problem is all the more difficult with the small and marginal farmers who have limited resources and have hardly any risk-bearing capacity. The problem also exists with the adopters who are reluctant to increase the rate of fertilizer application. It is, however, accepted that the only way of substantially increasing agricultural production and productivity, which is a must for me e tin~ the ever-increasing requirement of the country, it is through increased fertilizer consumption. Fertilizer consumption Will be increased only when the input/ output price relationship is considered favorable by the farmer
