Soil Health Management National Conference of Agriculture Kharif Campaign- 2012 Date : 05/03/2012 Agriculture Department, Gujarat State
ISSUES AND CAUSES Salinity problem • Long coastal area • Excess withdrawal of ground water • High temperature • Arid/ Semi arid region Micro nutrient deficiencies • Micro nutrient deficiency in Cotton, Groundnut & vegetable area • More use of N-P-K fertilizers • Low use of organic manures • Mono and Intensive cropping • Exhaustive uptake of nutrients by Bt cotton Nitrogen deficiency in Soil • Higher N2 consuming crops like Cotton, Castor, Maize, Jowar • Low C:N ratio • Low use of organic manures • Low fertilizer use efficiency
VISION • To diagnose the village wise micro nutrient status with aims to make sustainable way of fertilizer management. • Massive campaign for increasing awareness among the farmers for balance use of fertilizers. • Increasing bio fertilizer production capacity up to 25-30 lakh liters • Establishment of vermi-compost/ phospho compost/ bio compost production unit to reduce industrial pollution. • Putting back 100% cotton stalk/ banana stalk/ vegetable waste in to soil by promoting cotton shredder and rotavator. • Increasing micro nutrient production capacity.
FUTURE PLANNING 3DAction • Delivery in the field • Development of infrastructure for addressing the issues • Facilities and Mechanism for diagnosis of soil health issues
DEVELOPMENT Sustainable Development to enrich the soil with nutrients
Seminar/ Workshop and refresher courses for department officers and technical staff • Training of private people working in outsourced laboratory DELIVERY Knowledge up-gradation
Integrated Module of Outsourcing for Soil Health Card Long term contract for 3 years Private people training
FERTILIZER CONSUMPTION DURING LAST THREE YEAR ( In lakh M.T. ) NPK Ratio (Balance Use of Fertilizers): Ideal ratio for NPK consumption is 4:2:1. NPK consumption Ratio for the year 2006-07 was 7.72: 3.01: 1.00. & for the year 2010-11, it was 6.89:2.88:1.00 NPK consumption Ratio is decreased in 2010-11 as compared to previous years.
