Abstract :

 The role of fertilizers in accelerating the growth of crops and enhancing the fertility of soils is crucial.  Several types of fertilizers like organic, inorganic, manure, potassium and phosphate fertilizers have been made available.  The appropriate fertilizers should be used for different kinds of crops, soils and periods.  The awareness of consumers towards various features of fertilizers has been examined in this study.  For this purpose, Erode District, being one of the agricultural based districts in Tamil Nadu has been selected.  The data required for the study have been collected from the primary sources – the selected respondents.  The relevant statistical tools like chi square test and ANOVA have been used to analyze the primary data.  The study has found that the place of purchase of fertilizers and ownership of land have significant influence on the awareness of farmers towards fertilizers.
