    (University of Agricultural Sciences, Bengaluru, 2014-12-21) MANJUNATH, S.; RAME GOWDA, P. V.
    Supply chain management is concerned with the efficient integration of the entities involved so that merchandise is produced and distributed in the right quantity to the right location and at the right time. The study on Supply Chain Management of chemical fertilizers was undertaken in two taluks of Hemavathi Command Area of Tumkur district. Hundred farmers, ten retailers and four dealers of chemical fertilizers were randomly selected. Tabular analysis and Garret ranking tools were used to analyse the data. The study indicated that three most important marketing channels were present and among them, Manufacturer  Wholesaler’s  Private Retail dealer’s  Farmers was most popular channel in the study area. Seventy per cent of the traders were using company’s vehicle, twenty per cent were using hired vehicles and ten per cent were using own vehicles. Immediate delivery of fertilizers after placing the order was noticed and no need of fertilizer advance booking. Major problems encountered by farmers are found to be lack of scientific knowledge on kind of fertilizer and dosage, long distance to retail outlets, non availability of fertilizer in right time. Problems encountered by fertilizer distributors are found to be timely non-supply of fertilizers, transportation cost, period of credit, inadequacy of retail outlets and higher taxes. The fertilizer companies and KSDA shall conduct training to the farmers on dosage and type of fertilizer application.
