Abstract
The primary deficiency of nitrogen in Indian soils demands top priority for the use of nitrogenous fertilizers in crop production. The planning Commission in their First and Second Five Year Plans rightly gave this priority. The target of fertilizer production for 1950-51 is 1450,000 tons as against 380,000 tons in 1955-56 and only 95,000 tons in 1951-52. Ammonium sulphate maintains first place among the world’s nitrogenous fertilizers. In India it was mainly imported and only a few years ago the Government of India has brought into operation the Sindri Fertilizer Factory for its manufacture. The present production in our country is not likely to most the established demands. Its production depends upon the availability of sulphur or gypsum, the resources of which are limited and scattered in India.
