Discussion
Given below are two statements:
STATEMENT I: The most advanced and efficient practice of using fertilizers is 'fertigation'.
STATEMENT II: In fertigation, fertilizer application is made in large doses that fit within scheduled irrigation intervals which is uniform for all types of crops.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer: C
Statement I is true but Statement II is false.
Statement I: fertigation, applying soluble fertilizer through the irrigation water, usually drip, puts nutrients directly in the root zone in the right amounts at the right time. It is regarded as the most advanced and efficient way of using fertilizers, with high nutrient use efficiency.
Statement II is false: fertigation applies fertilizer in small, frequent doses matched to the crop's needs at each growth stage, not in large doses, and the schedule is tailored to each crop rather than uniform for all crops.
