preparation of soil fertility
maps:
Soil Samples Collection:
Since Sept. 1995 to Sept
2011, around 6.96 lac surface
soil samples (0-15 cm) were
collected by Chambal's field
staff and farmers as per
standard procedure from
d i f f e r e n t v i l l a g e s o f
Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab,
Uttar Pradesh, Madhya
Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and
Gujarat. Col lected soi l
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
Yien (1950) method and
ava i lab le su lphur was

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

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

green manures should be practiced
