Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar, November 18: With the cooperation of the district administration and the efforts of the agriculture department, Sahibzada Ajit Singh Nagar district has received 850 metric tons of DAP fertilizer in the past few days. Out of this, 500 metric tons have been supplied to private dealers and 350 metric tons to cooperative societies.
Which will provide great benefit to the farmers of the district in fulfilling DAP. The demand for DAP fertilizer has also been met to a large extent by using alternative fertilizers of DAP fertilizer by the farmers of the district.
Giving this information, the district's Chief Agriculture Officer Dr. Gurmail Singh said that the total quota of phosphatic fertilizers required in the district till March 2025 is 7763 metric tons. Out of which 5334 metric tons have been supplied so far.
He said that farmers in the district are being continuously made aware by the agricultural officers about alternative phosphatic mixtures/fertilizers to DAP fertilizer. According to the Chief Agricultural Officer, single super phosphate, triple super phosphate and NPK fertilizers can also be used instead of DAP, so farmers should not depend only on DAP.
