C.
Early harvesting
D.
Both B and D

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
The efficiency of urea can be increased by using neem cake.

The efficiency of the nutrient may be improved by combining the use of organic neem cake with the inorganic source of nitrogen fertilizer namely urea.
