Fertilizers play an important role in the maintenance of soil fertility in modern agriculture. A study was conducted to estimate the use of fertilizers by farmers to different crops. The information related to the availability, process, distance to travel for the purchasing of fertilizer, types of fertilizers, and recommended doses were also collected. The study revealed that high prices of fertilizers, lack of irrigation water, lack of knowledge and paucity of funds were the main reasons in non-adoption of recommended dose of fertilizers.
