Solution
Fertilisers should be applied scientifically, in terms of proper dose, time, and pre- and post-application precautions for their complete utilisation.
Different methods of fertiliser application include:
1. Broadcasting: Uniform distribution of the fertiliser over the whole cropped field.
2. Placement: Application of fertiliser in bands or in pockets near the plants or plant rows.
3. Foliar application: Using low- or high-volume sprayers, fertilisers are sprayed covering the plants.
