Importance of Fertilizer Management in Gram Farming
For higher productivity in gram crops, fertilizers should be applied according to soil testing results.
Nitrogen Fixation in Gram Plants
Gram plants contain nitrogen fixing bacteria in root nodules. These bacteria absorb nitrogen from the atmosphere and help plant growth.
Recommended Fertilizer Dose
- Nitrogen – 20–25 kg per acre
- Phosphorus – 50–60 kg per acre
- Potash – around 20 kg per acre
- Sulfur – around 20 kg per acre
Nutrient Spray in Unirrigated Conditions
Scientific research suggests that spraying 2% urea or DAP solution during unirrigated conditions can increase yield.
