Soil Samples Collection:

Since Sept. 1995 to Sept

2011, around 6.96 lac surface

collected by Chambal's field

staff and farmers as per

standard procedure from

Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab,

Uttar Pradesh, Madhya

samples were sent to ADLs

for the analysis. Some

samples were d i rect ly

received from the farmers.

05

Soil Analysis:

The soil samples were processed and stored in the lab at

suitable room temperature; and analysed for pH, Electrical

conductivity, Organic Carbon (%), available P O and K O in 2 5 2

general, available sulphur and available micronutrients (Zn, Fe,

Cu, Mn & B) in particular cases by using standard methods as

per details given below:

a) Soil Reaction (pH) was determined by using 1:2.5 soils:

water suspension with the calibrated pH meter by following the

method given by Jackson (1973).

b) Soil Salinity (Electrical Conductivity) was determined by

using 1:2.5 soils: water suspension with the calibrated

conductivity meter by following the method given by Jackson

(1973).

c) Organic Carbon was determined by following modified

Walkley-Black (1934) method.

d) Available Phosphorous was determined by following

Olsen et al (1954) method and available phosphorous was

expressed in P O by using conversion factor.2 5

e) Available Potassium was determined by Flame

Photometer with neutral ammonium acetate as an extractant by

following Hanway and Heidel (1952) method and available

potassium was expressed in K O by using conversion factor.2

f) Available Sulphur was

determined by following

Turbidimetric Chesin and

About 15453 samples were collected from Uttar Pradesh (7084), Punjab (1922), Rajasthan (3163),

Haryana (2737) and Madhya Pradesh (547) and analysed at ADL’s with CaCl - extractable S 2

(Chesin and Yien, 1950) method.

Status of available sulphur was found 20.75% to 40.40% in

low, 13.53% to 22.32% in medium and 40.40% to 63.61% in

high category. Maximum deficiency percentages of sulphur

were observed in Madhya Pradesh (40.40%) followed by

Uttar Pradesh (38.82%), Punjab (35.74%), Rajasthan

(28.93%) and Haryana (20.75%).

6. For reclamation of sodic/ alkali soils, use of chemical

amendments viz., gypsum, sulphur etc and for saline

soils, use of organic manures/ green manures coupled

with leaching of soluble salts with water from root zone

should be followed before on set of monsoon.

7. Soil conservation measures like leveling, bunding of

fields, cover crop, mulching etc to reduce erosion /

nutrient losses should be practiced.

8. In canal irrigated areas, irrigation water should also be used efficiently so as to avoid secondary

salinisation of soils.

9. Before using tubewell water for irrigation purposes it

should be analysed in Soil Testing Laboratory for its

suitability for a particular crop and soil in a particular

region.

10. Adopting crop rotation to maintain soil & crop health.

Crop rotation prevents soil depletion, maintain soil

fertility, reduce soil erosion, control insect-pests, disease

& weeds and also decrease the need for inorganic

supplements.

11. Crop follow periods practices should be adapted to maintain soil fertility. Crop follow periods are

when no crops are planted to allow time for plant to replace the nutrients in the soil. Follow

periods benefits include soil fertility restoration, suppression of weeds & protection of the soil

against erosion.

Recommendations/ Suggestions

11

Following recommendations have been made on the basis

of analysis of 696584 soil samples for different soil

parameters:

1. Promote effective and environmentally sound manage-

ment of plant nutrients.

2. The balanced and effective use of plant nutrients from

both organic and inorganic sources, at the farm and

community levels, should be emphasized; the use of

local sources of organic matter and other soil amendments should be promoted; and success-

ful case of integrated plant nutrient management should be analysed, documented and

disseminated.

3. Innovative approaches to support and

promote integrated plant nutrient

management should be pursued.

4. Addi t ion of Organic manures
