Camel dung replaces costly DAP

The trains of camels are out here again in Muzaffargarh and this time not to entertain the public with their wrestling skills but to feed malnourished lands with their dung. The ship of dessert has now assumed a new role of mitigating farmers difficulties in the face of skyrocketing prices of DAP fertilisers and provides alternative fertilisers, Dawn has learnt. DAP fertilisers is touching all-time high Rs3,000 per bag which has forced farmers to look towards alternative fertilizers like cattle dung.
