Pakistan Agricultural Development Review v. 1, no. 1, p. 23-38625141Summary: This paper has demonstrated an integrated and interdisciplinary approach to establishing appropriate fertilizer recommendations for small farmers. The series of surveys and experiments over a five year period in Swat Yalley indicate that the optimum dose of N is around 100 Kg per hectare and farmers are approaching that leve. Capital scarcity appears to be the main factor limiting the use of N in this area. The overall response to phosphorus in maize in this area is small.
