Wheat Sowing Begins Amid DAP Shortage

The agricultural landscape in Punjab is facing challenges as wheat sowing begins, coinciding with a notable shortage of diammonium phosphate (DAP). Farmers are grappling with the economic implications of this shortage, which could hinder their planting efforts and affect overall crop yields. The shortage of DAP, a critical nutrient for wheat, raises concerns about food security in the region.

What this means
