The study is based on data collected from 330 households and several issues like response of crops to fertilizer application, adoption and fertilizer usepractices, farmers' access to fertilizer, determinants of fertilizer use are discussed. Some important policy conclusions that envisaged from the findings are addressed. The study shows that use of fertilizer on traditional varieties can also be a catalyst for agricultural growth
