Fertilizers are essential for enhancing agricultural productivity, and their consumption is influenced by various factors such as irrigation, high-yielding seeds, credit availability, cropping patterns, and nutrient requirements. This study examines the factors affecting fertilizer consumption in the state of Haryana, India, The study was conducted in four districts of Haryana, namely Bhiwani, Faridabad, Fatehabad, and Yamuna Nagar, representing both the Western and Eastern zones. The primary objective of the study
was to analyze fertilizer consumption under major crops in these districts. The study analyzes data from four districts in Haryana and employs multiple regression models to identify significant factors. The findings highlight the importance of cropping intensity, irrigated area, high-yielding varieties, credit availability, and fertilizer prices in shaping fertilizer consumption. The study emphasizes the need to
address nutrient imbalances and ensure proper fertilizer distribution to improve agricultural productivity and food security in Haryana.
