Ammonium nitrate fertilizer is not used for which crop:

Correct answer: D. Paddy rice

  • A. Cotton
  • B. Wheat
  • C. Sugarcane
  • D. Paddy rice

Explanation

Paddy rice cultivation typically involves flooded or waterlogged conditions, which are not suitable for ammonium nitrate fertilizer. Ammonium nitrate can be prone to leaching and volatilization losses in such conditions, leading to nutrient wastage and environmental pollution. Therefore, other nitrogen fertilizers more suitable for flooded conditions, such as urea, ammonium sulfate, or ammonium phosphate, are preferred for paddy rice cultivation.
