A total of 79 farmers were randomly without replacement selected and were interviewed with the help of well-structured interview schedule. The findings revealed that majority of the farmers had marginal (<1 ha) land holding and majority of the respondents apply inorganic fertilizers. Majority of the farmers used fertilizers in the granulated form. The quantity of urea, diammonium phosphate and muriate of potash in rice and wheat were applied in more quantity than recommended.
