Being an agrarian nation, India faces the challenge of supporting a large number of small and marginal farmers, who often struggle with low productivity and poor crop quality.
The majority of crops in India rely on rainfall and are cultivated repeatedly on the same plots of land, leading to a decline in soil fertility across many regions.
As a result, there has been a growing dependence on nitrogen fertilizers in order to address this issue.
