Groundnut NPK: N 10 kg + P 10 kg + K 8 kg per Vigha. Apply DAP 22 kg + Gypsum 50 kg at sowing. Rhizobium seed treatment reduces N fertilizer need. All at basal dose — no top dressing.
Cotton needs N 24 kg + P 12 kg + K 8 kg per Vigha. Apply in 3 splits: 50% at sowing, 25% at squaring, 25% at boll formation. Avoid excess N — causes boll shedding.
Compare cost per kg of nutrient. Urea at ₹267/50kg gives cheapest N (₹11.6/kg N). DAP provides both N and P. Use this Brand Compare tab to see current cost-effectiveness.
