The urea fertilizer crisis that has gripped the country for the last week or so has further intensifies, as getting the fertilizer at control rate has virtually becomes a dream for farmers. It is feared that lesser application of urea may affect yield of strategic wheat crop, the newspaper reported.

Farmers complained that the urea fertilizer is not available in the market at present.
