TextLanguage: En Publication details: 1989Description: 18 pagesSummary: A high proportion of farmers in the rainfed areas of Northern punjab use N and P fertilizars on wheat in doses of about 50 kg N/ha and 50 kg P2)5/ha, on average. The official blanket recommendations, however, are about 110 kg N/ha and 60 kg P2O5/ha. This paper contends that farmers low doses of N and P coukd be due to their rationale for management of risks associated with uncertain climatic conditions.
