Bihar DAP Shortage Delays Sowing of Rabi Crops, Farmers Fear Loss in Quality

Patna: Rajeshwar Mandal and Surajdeo Yadav are extremely worried as the sowing of maize, wheat, pulses and mustard has been delayed due to the acute shortage of diammonium phosphate (DAP). The marginal farmers of the flood-hit Seemanchal-Koshi region of Bihar fear that the delay in sowing the Rabi crops will affect their quality and production.

Mandal and Yadav are among the thousands of Rabi farmers across Bihar who are struggling with the shortage of DAP. “My land is ready for sowing since last week but I am unable to sow maize and wheat seeds without DAP. I am not alone; most of the farmers in my village and the neighbouring villages are eagerly waiting for the supply of DAP, an essential requirement at the time of sowing Rabi crops,” Mandal, a resident of Baisi, in Purnea district, told Newsclick.

According to Mandal, the government failed to learn any lesson from the fertiliser crisis during the Kharif season. “After the urea shortage during the Kharif season, the scarcity of DAP is a big failure of the government. It should have ensured adequate supply of DAP,” he said.

Yadav said that it is unfortunate that farmers are wasting hours daily in search of DAP but hardly get it. “We should have either sowed Rabi crops or have been busy sowing them instead of struggling for DAP,” Yadav, a resident of Rajni Panchayat, in Murliganj, Madhepura district, said.
