Progress Report of Soil Health Cards Group -1
Soil Testing Laboratories In The State • Existing Soil Testing Labs : • (i)State Govt.- 8 • (ii)KrishiVigyan Kendra- 8 • Proposed Under P.P.P. mode - 25
FERTILIZER CONSUMPTIONAS-N.P.K. Unit –M.T. • 2011-N:94962 P:53204 K:23525 • 2012-N:112501 P:55094 K:21938 • 2013-N:82477 P:17310 K:3689
Group -1 CONSTRAINTS • Low analyzing capacity of the labs. • Service area of the labs are large 3-4 Districts. • Proper and sufficient no. of soil samples are not received by the labs. • Soil health cards are not prepared timely. • Shortage of technicians. • Imbalanced fertilizer use.
SOIL HEALTH CARD SCHEME(BENIFITS) • Promotion of balanced & judicious use of plant nutrients. • Soil health cards for all the land holdings. • Efficiency enhancement of S.T.L. • Quick delivery of soil health cards possible. • Uniform norms for soil sampling& analysis. • Study of fertility related constraints. • Reclamation of acidic soil. • Increased productivity.
SOIL HEALTH CARD SCHEME(STRATEGY) • Number Of Land Holdings -27 Lakh. • Number of Soil Health Cards To be Issued In Three Years -27 Lakh. • Numbers Of Soil Samples To Be Collected & Analaysed -1.82Lakh. • Districts To Be Covered - 24 • Blocks To Be Covered - 259
Drawing Samples From Field&OTHER ACTIVITIES • Directly Through Agriculture Department Staff • V.L.W., B.T.M., A.T.M., Farmers Friend. • Norms Of Soil Sampling: • (i)In irrigated areas , samples will be drawn in a grid of 2.5 ha. • (ii)In rain fed areas , sampling will be done in a 10 ha. Grid • Training to soil chemists ,J.R.F., farmers will be organizedfor capacity building. • Organizing Awareness programme. • Organizing demonstration.
Group -1 Suggestions Following suggestions are being made to be implemented under soil health card scheme. • Strengthening of STL providing auto analyzers and other equipments. • Running labs in PPP mode in all the districts ( lab buildings are ready). • Collection of soil samples through GPS for preparation of village level Soil health Maps. • Development of Software for speedy online issue of soil health card. • Providing digital pusastfr meter/mridaparikchak(developed by IISS,Bhopal) to ATIC. • Developing S.T.C.R. equations for all crops grown in the state in collabration with I.I.S.S.,Bhopal& B.A.U. Ranchi. • Providing internet connection & computer operetor to S.T.L. • Appointment of Technical Staff on contract basis. • Involving science colleges in soil analysis work.
