Abstract

The present study was undertaken to assess the growth in fertilizer consumption and instability by using the fertilizer consumption data for the period 1990-91 to 2019-20 and analyses by the exponential growth model. The periods of the study were divided into four sub-periods viz. Period-1 (1990-91 to 1999-00), Period-II (2000-01 to 2009-10), Period-III (2010-11 to 2019-20), and Overall period (1990-91 to 2019-20) for the meaningful elucidation of results. NPK consumption in Haryana across four divisions, during period-I, period II, and period III was found positive except for phosphorus in period III. Among all the fertilizers, higher growth was noticed in potash which has the highest variability as compared to other fertilizer nutrients. The variability in consumption of different nutrients (N, P, and K) in Haryana has shown that during period-I, II, III and overall nitrogen consumption was more stable, while, potash consumption was highly unstable during all the periods.
