Rainfed: In normal cases one bag of DAP and one bag of urea per acre should be applied. Latest research has shown that the use of Pottash allows crop to fight against drought and diseases. So one bag of pottash should be applied per acre. In rainfed areas all the fertilizers should be used at the time of preparing field for planting.
