Assalamu Alaikum. how are you all? I hope you are all well. I am also fine. thank God. Today I am feeling very good by participating in this test because today I want to share some information about the farmer's night with you in this contest "Knowledge in Agriculture 95". This wonderful contest has been organized by @hiv-118902. I thank them from the bottom of my heart.Farmers are provided with detailed instructions on how to apply fertilizer to their fields.I am describing the power being put into agriculture and its management.

🌱Fertilizer management means fertilizer management🌱

It means planning, purchasing. storing using and monitoring. according to the needs of the crop. So that less cost and more production is achieved and the land is not damaged. 5 important principles of food management "5R" Agriculture experts call it " 5R" What does the right fertilizer crop need? Nitrogen N Phosphorus P Potash K or any? 🫴🌱Example: Wheat needs more nitrogen at the beginning The right amount. the right amount. neither less nor more. This decision should be made by looking at one by one by doing a soil test. Eating too much also wastes money and the land also deteriorates. The crop is needed at the right time. Example: Giving urea in 2-3 installments. Not all at once is right. the right way to eat. Do it give it with water. keep it near the plant. Fertilizer is not wasted in the right way. Right = right place
Where you can easily take it. Development of the benefits of management- The crop is not healthy. the land is not damaged more than keeping the land safe.

🌱Mistakes in food management🌱

1🫴Applying fertilizer by guesswork
2🫴Giving all the fertilizer at once
3🫴 Not testing the soil
4🫴 Keep the pot in an open place that gets moisture.
5🫴 A small example

Fertilizer management for wheat crop:
At the time of sowing. DAP + half urea
After 21 days on the first watering . half urea
After 45 days on the second watering remaining ureaIn this way . food is not wasted and the crop is fed on time.

🌱Special proposal regarding agriculture 🌱

Management means "use of fertilizer wisely The aim is to produce more from fertilizer and protect the health of the soil

🌱Importance of "fertilizer management" in agriculture🌱

Fertilizer management means giving the right fertilizer. at the right time. in the right quantity and in the right way In today's era, good production depends on it up to 70%. 7 major reasons for importance 1. Increase in yield The crop needs NPK i.e nitrogen. phosphorus potash for its growth. If balanced fertilizer is given on time. the plant remains healthy. fruits/grains look more.

🌱Example: With proper management🌱

wheat production can increase by 20-30 maunds per acre. Cost reduction Indiscriminate application of fertilizer wastes 30-40% of fertilizer. Good planning saves money. Less fertilizer is more beneficial. This is very important in the era of inflation. Saving soil fertility Applying too much urea makes the soil hard and acidic. Organic matter is lost. With management. we keep the soil cultivable for a long time. For future generations too. Environmental protection Unnecessary fertilizers flow into canals and rivers with rain. This pollutes water. Proper management stops this waste and reduces pollution. Crop quality improves. Adding nitrogen alone makes the crop bigger. but the grain is weaker. If phosphorus. potash and micronutrients are also provided. the color. weight and nutrition of the crop improve. The market rate is also good. Prevention of diseases and pests Diseases and pests attack weak plants quickly. Balanced fertilizer increases the immunity of the plant. This also reduces the cost of spraying.

🌊Water saving🌊

When fertilizer is applied at the right place and at the right time the plant uses water better. This is especially beneficial in areas like Jhang where water is scarce.

Good fertilizer management = low cost + high yield + safe land + safe environment. That's why experts say Fertilizing is an art and managing it is the key to successful farming .
