Punjab, Haryana and Telangana are among the top five states using pesticides. In this case, Maharashtra is on the first number one and Uttar Pradesh on the second number.
Fertilizer consumption
Union Territory of Puducherry is at the forefront of the competition of other states of the country in the consumption of fertilizers to increase the yield of crops in the fields. States like Telangana and Punjab lag behind Puducherry in this chart from 2015-16 to 2019-20 (kg / ha). Bihar and Haryana are almost at par in terms of use of major fertilizers. There is only a slight difference between the figures of these two states. Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal and Karnataka are in the list of top-10 states that use fertilizer.

Fertilizer consumption per year
According to the newly available information, according to the Ministry of Agriculture, the use of chemical fertilizers in the country during 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 (till Kharif 2020) was 54.38 million tonnes, 56.21 million tonnes, 59.88 million. Ton and 33.85 million tonnes of fertilizer products (urea, di-ammonium phosphate (DAP), muret of potash (MOP), complex and single super phosphate) were used.
What do you say expert
Experts fear that unbalanced use of chemical fertilizers, combined with depletion of organic matter and neglect of micro and secondary nutrients, will result in multi-nutrient depletion and soil health deterioration, especially intensive farming. It can be seen more in areas.
The All India Coordinated Research Project on long term fertilizer experiments over five decades has indicated that continued use of nitrogen fertilizers alone has had a profound impact on soil health and crop productivity. Because of this there has been a decrease in micronutrients.
