Abstract:
Fertilizers are the substances that contain essential nutrients required for plant growth and development. These can be natural or synthetic, straight or mixed depending on the requirement of crop. This research paper investigates the patterns and impact of fertilizer use among farmers in the Saidabad block of Prayagraj district, Uttar Pradesh. Based on field surveys, interviews, and direct observations, the study explores the current fertilizer usage practices among Saidabad farmers and assesses the factors influencing their choices. The study shows widespread use of chemical fertilizers, the emerging adoption of organic alternatives, and the implications for soil health and sustainable agriculture. The findings underline the urgent need for balanced fertilization practices, increased awareness among farmers, and support for sustainable agricultural initiatives to protect long-term productivity.
