      abstract = {Growth of institutional credit disbursement and its  relation with growth in fertilizer use shows significant  positive relationship but credit disbursement shows poor  relationship with growth in crop output. The reason for  this poor relation are access of a small proportion of  large and medium farmers to credit institutions, inadequate  and untimely disbursement owing to complicated loan  sanctioning procedure, and overlapping of credit  institutional operation. Compared to agricultural credit,  rural credit for non-farm activities particularly those  provided by the Grameen Bank has been better utilized, and  timely repaid. However, Grameen Bank  still covers a tiny   proportion of the total rural poor, so its success should  be interpreted  with caution.},
