Abstract: There are seventeen essential nutrients which are required for the optimum growth and development of crop. Among these, there are major nutrients (N P K) which are required in higher quantity by crop and their supply is utmost essential. Not only nutrient supply, but they should be supply at balanced form. Moreover their rate, source, time and method of application are also important for increasing the efficiency of applied fertilizers. The efficiency of nitrogen fertilizers can be increased by use of slow release nitrogen fertilizers, foliar application of Urea, split application methods, use of non-nitrate fertilizers and incorporation of urea fertilizers. For the phosphatic fertilizers, localized application, use of sufficient quantity of organic matter and liming of soil to raise its pH near neutrality (pH 6.5) could be done. In case of potassium, soil type and crop grown are the most important parameters while deciding the fertilizer source. Crop growth and fruit types and their sensitivity towards to K fertilisers are also important.
