FERTILISER STATISTICS 196 1-62 Published by THE FERTILISER ASSOCIATION OF INDIA 85 Sundar Nagar, New Delhi, February 1963] [ Price Rs. 5 First Published August 1956 Second edition May 1957 Third edition July 1958 Fourth edition June 1959 Fifth edition June I960 Sixth edition June 1961 Supplement to Sixth edition February 1962 Seventh edition February 1963 Prepared in the Statistical Divisi«n of The Fertiliser Association of India by T. R. Chadha, Statistician and A, N. Kulkarni, Statistical Assistant, PREFACE This is the seventh edition of Fertiliser Statistics revised for 1961- 62 (July-June). The object of the publication is to keep those engaged In the fertiliser industry and in the propagation of fertiliser use informed of the various factors relating to fertilisers in India. The data presented in this publication have been drav^rn from different sources and, therefore, do not conform to the same standard of accuracy. This has to be kept in view when utilising the data. The publication of Fertiliser Statistics has been made possible by the co-operation of Central Ministries of Food and Agriculture and Com• merce and Industry, State Departments of Agriculture, Fertiliser Manu• facturers and Importers and various other agencies. The assistance rendered by them is gratefully acknowledged. The present edition has some new features which are referred to in the introduction. Members of the Association and those Interested in the improvement of Indian agriculture will, I am sure, find this publication useful. The Association would welcome suggestions to make it more complete and comprehensive so as to make future editions an improve• ment on the present one. C. R. RANGANATHAN, New Delhi, Executive Director, October 31, 1962. The Fertiliser Association of India. CONTENTS Page Preface "'i Introduction PART I FERTILISER STATISTICS 1.

Even the published information is scattered through a large number of publications and is not readily available for use. This booklet is brought out in order to bring together all these data, both published and un-published, with a view to giving an objective presentation of information available with the Government and the Industry. It is hoped this publication will meet the needs of all those who are interested in fertilisers. The book is divided into two parts. Part I consists of Fertiliser Statistics and Part II of Related Statistics. Parti gives details regarding the industries concerned with the manufacture of straight and mixed fertilisers, installed capacity, production, consumption, imports, prices and subsidy, targets of production and consumption of N. P, K in the Third Five-Year Plan and world statistics. Certain useful information such as fertiliser recommendations for different crops in the various States, statistics of urban and rural compost production and area green- manured, plant nutrients removed by crops, nutrient content of ferti• lisers, etc., is also included in this part. Part II deals with land utilisation statistics, area and production of crops, imports of cereals, targets of agricultural production in the Third Five-Year Plan and world statistics. In addition certain other useful information is also given in this part.
