As usual at early morning farmer get ready to
go farm for farming. Much of time they didn't know what he have to do in farm.
farmers are doing basic practices in their farm, Prepare land for sowing
and planting plants. spraying or spreading fertilizers at twice during
season. finally crop is ready for harvesting. no one could resist those practice of farmer. actually it happens only due to lack of knowledge & observation.
overall practices of crop
production are very expensive and tough for production. overall season nature
plays vital role in production. due to climate change overall practices are
resulted in loss. no one can says when weather conditions turns towards harmful
for crop. when farmer adopt advanced practices it may results in higher
productivity with less expenses. advanced practices are simple, less exertive
& it results in increased production.
Kaine Korzekwa, a science communicator says, during farming farmer
needs to take lot of decisions. Fertilize farm is one of most important
decision of farming. How much fertilizer to apply & when to apply is the
most complicated decision of farmer cause applying more than necessity OR
applying at wrong time is waste. it results in polluted soil & environment,
also effect on farmers pocket.

Telha Rehman from California University, Davis says, the most wasteful application of nitrogen fertilizer occurs in the middle of season. This is because its hard for farmers to know how much nitrogen (N) is already available to the crops. he is working to find handy device that farmers can use to measure the amount of nitrogen already in their crops.
Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) &
Calcium (K) are the basic elements for growing period. as they are necessary
elements farmers tends to use these separate or combined form in traditional
way. most of dosage used by farmers during plantation or sowing. they didn't
notice what is soil requirement? what is crop requirement? How to measure amount of NPK available for crop OR in crop.
Overall farmers have to change their mindsets to adopt advanced and innovate agricultural practices. utilize existing resources which is available free of cost in nature. Mazisheti Shetakari Pratishthan [farmers foundation] implementing such practices in rural area of Maharashtra region.
