Description The present study entitled “Study of Fertilizer Consumption Pattern in relation to
Rainfall in the Southern part of Telangana region of Andhra Pradesh” had been attempted
to identify the trends in fertilizer consumption and its relation to rainfall distribution. The
reference period of study was from 1979-80 to 2008-09 and the study was carried out for
the three districts in Southern part of Telangana region comprising of Mahabubnagar,
Medak and Nalgonda districts.
Trends in fertilizer consumption were identified by compound growth rates. Trends
in fertilizer consumption for these three districts as whole were studied. An attempt had
also been made to assess the fertilizer consumption pattern in relation to rainfall pattern
identified by correlation values by using cluster analysis.
The study revealed that the N, P, K and total NPK fertilizer consumptions marked a
significant increasing trend for the three districts. Potash consumption recorded highest
compound growth rate in Medak and Nalgonda district. In Mahabubnagar district
Phosphate consumption recorded highest compound growth rate and almost all the three
districts exhibited positive trend. The fertilizer consumption pattern and rainfall pattern
were identified for South-West monsoon, North-East monsoon and Total year using the
cluster analysis and it revealed the season wise most probable and representative pattern of
rainfall and fertilizer consumption in each district.
The compound growth rates of Nitrogen, Phosphate, Potash and Total fertilizer
consumption of Mahabubnagar district were 4.278, 5.332, 4.138 and 4.461 percent
respectively. Phosphate consumption was recorded the highest growth rate over the years in
the Mahabubnagar district. It was revealed the change in consumption levels over the years.
The compound growth rates of Nitrogen, Phosphate, Potash and Total fertilizer
consumption of Medak district were 5.675, 6.162, 9.395 and 6.060 per cent respectively.
The compound growth rates of Nalgonda district were 7.123, 7.591, 9.211 and 7.412 per
cent respectively. Potash consumption recorded highest compound growth rate in Medak
and Nalgonda district.
The cluster analysis revealed the season wise fertilizer consumption and rainfall
pattern for thirty years of data for all the three districts. The average fertilizer consumption
and rainfall for the most probable clusters were obtained. The fertilizer consumption pattern
in relation to rainfall in three districts was identified by cluster analysis and correlation. In
Mahabubnagar district, the rainfall pattern of two seasons and total for the year and the
fertilizer consumption pattern positively correlated with rainfall pattern which was not
significantly correlated.
In Medak district, South-West monsoon and North-East monsoon fertilizer
consumption negatively correlated with rainfall and was not significantly correlated. In the
case of total year relationship between the fertilizer consumption and rainfall pattern was
positively correlated which was not significantly correlated.
Fertilizer consumption pattern was found to be positively correlated with rainfall
pattern and the fertilizer consumption was not significantly correlated with rain fall pattern
in two seasons in Nalgonda district. In the case of total year, relationship between the
fertilizer consumption and rainfall pattern is negatively correlated which was not
significantly correlated.
