A.
India
B.
Sri Lanka
C.

Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
In New Zealand, most of the N is required for crop production through Nitrogen fixation by legumes.
Fertilizer usage in New Zealand grassland farming is almost entirely confined to the application of non-nitrogenous fertilizers and lime to grass or clover pastures. Once established and effectively nodulated, with satisfactory mineral nutrition clovers can obtain their nitrogen for growth through symbiosis with rhizobial bacteria.
