The Haryana Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare Minister, JP Dalal, met the Union Minister of Chemicals and Fertilisers Mansukh Mandaviya in Delhi today and discussed the subject of fertilisers with him.
Dalal told the Union Minister that there was more requirement of di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) fertiliser for the sowing of wheat and mustard in the state.
The Union Minister assured Dalal that there would be no shortage of fertilisers in the state.
From November 1 to 15, the Central Government had approved to provide 26 rakes of the DAP fertiliser, out of which 12 rakes had been received by the state and 14 would be received within the next one week.
A rake holds around 2,600 metric tonnes of the DAP fertiliser. The Agriculture Minister said the state would receive three rakes of DAP every day from November 15 to 25. With this supply, the quantity of DAP fertiliser required for sowing crops in the state would be sufficient, Dalal added.
