Nutrient Efficiency Cause of low efficiency
Nitrogen 30-50 %Immobilization, volatilization, denitrification, Leaching
Phosphorus 15-20% Fixation in soils Al – P, Fe – P, Ca – P
Potassium 70-80% Fixation in clay - lattices
Sulphur 8-10% Immobilization, Leaching with water
Micro nutrients (Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, B) 1-2% Fixation in soils

Suggested Medium term Strategy
Use of optimal dose based on soil health status.
Promotion of Neem-Coated Urea.
Promotion of Micronutrients.
Promotion of Organic Fertilizers.
Promotion of Water Soluble Fertilizer under NHM.
Operational Issues
Quality Control & Enforcement of FCO mandated standards.
Strengthening of the enforcement measures to prevent
hoarding/ black marketing/ Smuggling /diversion of
subsidised fertilizers to non-agriculture use.
Operationalisation of mFMS at the retailer level.
Close Coordination with Suppliers and timely placement of
Indent with Railways.
Collaboration in the Pilot Project for tracking & tracing of
fertilizers sales.
