Technically we start liking a sector whenever the almost all the stocks in the sector start making 52 week highs and All Time Highs with volumes.
It gets much more convincing when such a move happens when the Benchmark Indices - Nifty and Sensex are in a consolidaton or in a downtrend.
A relative outperformance of such magnitude is a strong signal. Also such moves get much more stronger when fundamental drivers for the sector are also in place which I think is happening for the sector in terms of good monsoons, subsidy , debt reduction etc.
The same process helped us find Chemicals as a sector with picks like Atul/Aarti Inds and others as well as Textiles Sector - Kpr Mills, Vardhman Textiles, Welspun India , Himatsingka Seide and others. Both the sectors are still in strong long term uptrends.
Technically a strong formation of multi-year highs and huge jump in volumes is seen in the fertilizer stocks. The breakout suggests it could be a lasting trend and the first move from our initiation has been strong. Also we have been long on the sector before the breakout as well and added on to the position. Do note not all our sector calls go right 
The last one we came out was on Pharma Sector which got stopped out in 2 weeks. Learnt a lesson its tougher to catch bottoming out and one should wait for confirmation instead of pre-empting a trend change from a downtrend. Report here -

Another interesting sector is rice.
Apart from this we can see similar breakouts in smaller fertilizer plays as well.
There is an age old assumption that Fertilizers tend to move in a pre-budget rally but last 5-7 years data of price moves does not co-relate to that assumption.
