4:2:1 is like a thali for the crop—four parts nitrogen, two parts phosphorus, one part potash. But here, a farmer only remembers the first number. They use too much urea because it's cheap and gives a fast green flush, like a sugar rush. They see the neighbour's field and fear faltu katha.
In my shop, I see the same bhaiya come for a 50kg urea bag every month, but he walks past the DAP and MOP sacks. His logic is simple: his pocket is shallow, and his worry about tomorrow's yield is deep.
