Use of Fertilisers and their Impact on Agricultural Production in Sampla C.D. Block, Rohtak District (Haryana)

Abstract

Present study examines the use of fertilisers and their impact on agricultural production in Sampla C.D. Block, Rohtak District, Haryana. Agriculture in the region is heavily dependent on chemical fertilisers, making it essential to assess their role in enhancing yields, farmers’ awareness, and long-term sustainability. Primary data were collected through a structured questionnaire survey of 80 farmers, evenly distributed across four scattered villages in the block. The study highlights that wheat, paddy, mustard, vegetables, and fodder are the main crops, with urea and DAP being the most widely used fertilisers. Farmers generally apply fertilisers once or twice during a crop season, and expenditure on fertiliser inputs is steadily increasing.
