Before using fertilizers in the fields, if soil test is done and fertilizers are applied on the basis of its test report, then we would know in what quantity of fertilizers we have to use. That’s why farmers must get their fields soil tested. However, many farmers do not use base fertilizer at the time of sowing, they often think that if it is too hot now, it will not be appropriate to apply fertilizer and it will be given when it rains, but this thinking is wrong. Base fertilization at early stage is essential for root formation, plant growth and branch formation, otherwise there will be huge reduction in production.
Farmers must do deep plowing of the empty field in the summer season, so that the fungus and other pests present in the soil can be controlled, and at the same time the soil becomes brown so that its water holding capacity increases. If available, well rotten cow dung manure/compost at the rate of 4 to 5 tonnes per acre must be given.
