1. BALANCE USE OF FERTILISER & USE OF GIS TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, HARYANA

2. BALANCE FERTILISER USE  Use of chemical fertiliser is highly imbalanced  Fertilizer use is more than 200 kg/ha  The N:P ratio in Haryana is 3.5:1 against 2:1  Deficiency of micronutrient is spreading very fast SOIL TESTING IS THE ONLY SCIENTIFIC METHOD TO MAKE BALANCED FERTILISER RECOMMENDATIONS

3. SOIL TESTING PROGRAMME  Soil Testing services are provided free of cost to the farmers of Haryana  ADO’s are given target for collection of soil samples before sowing season  The samples are sent to the concerned laboratories for analysis  Analysis report with fertiliser recommendation are sent to the extension workers for follow up action  Special soil testing campaigns are launched to collect representative samples  Distt wise Digital Fertility maps are prepared,which are sent to DDAs  Water samples are also analysed in the laboratories for assessing its quality  3.0 lakhs Soil Health Cards will be provided to the Farmers in the State annually

4. SOIL AND WATER TESTING SERVICES Present Set up:- - 30 Soil & Water Testing Laboratories in the State - One Mobile Soil testing Laboratory. - 13 STLs are equipped for Micronutrient testing. Soil Parameters being Analysed :- - pH & EC to check the alkalinity & Salinity in soils for reclamation - Major nutrient, N: P : K - Secondary Nutrient Sulphur In all STLs - Micronutrients ( Zn, Fe, Mn and Cu ) in 13 STLs Capacity :- -- 10000 soil sample a year of each Laboratory - Total of 3.00 lacs soil samples by all the STLs - 1.00 soil samples for micronutrients( Zn. Fe and Mn)

5. Monitoring of micronutrient deficiencies in the State -Micronutrient deficiency is spreading very fast in the soils of Haryana Creation of micronutrient testing facilities in all the STLs To cover the maximum area for micronutrient analysis Creation of data for deficient areas To delineate the deficient areas in the Distt. Maps To educate the farmers for the application of micronutrient fert. Complete automation in the STLs  the functioning of all the STLs have been made computerized  One ICP ( auto analyser )has been installed in the central Lab. at Karnal  capable to analyse 300 samples a day for all the parameters in one go  Tradationaly 60-70 samples are being analysed by any of the STL

6. ICP -SPECTROMETER

7.  CRETION OF LOCATION SPECIFICATION INFORMATION(GPS based)  Use of GIS technology  Web based application  internet mapping services (IMS)  On line Soil Health card on the deptt web page (www.agriharyana.nic.in)www.agriharyana.nic.in  Distribution of information to the individuals INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION
