4. Fertility and Nutrient Status • 70% of our soil affected due to soil acidity • (40 lakh ha acidic & 13 lakh ha with pH≤ 5.5) • Deficient Nutrients – Extent of Defficiency in %) Zinc - 19 % (prevalent in medium & Low Land soils Boron - 44% (majority of upland Soils) Sulphur - 28% • Nutrient Status up to Gram Panchayat Level for major nutrients has been uploaded in the website www.orsac.org/naturalresources/soilfertility and is available in public domain • Soil Health Card Generation has been Made On-Line

5. Soil Testing & fertiliser use Consequent up on massive soil testing and recommendations thereof we are inching towards the ideal ratio of N:P:K which is 4:2:1

6. Extent of fallow land and measures required to bring them to cultivation • Fallow land in the state- 11.17 lakhhectsres (nearly 17%) • Measures required – • Taking up different plantation crops in well drained uplands remaining fallow. • Growing low duty and fodder crops. • Fallow Low land prone to water logging could be exploited for fisheries/ integrated farming systems. • Establishment of Irrigation points; bore wells, WHS, farm ponds/ dugwells etc. • Treatment of land for reducing soil erosion and runoff losses. • Livelihood interventions. • Incentivising productive use of fallow land.

7. Extent of use of subsidy and quality inputs by tenant farmers • While providing extension services and different quality agri-inputs farmers are not discriminated for owning land except for infrastructural development. • Thus, all the tenant farmer have equal access to quality agri –inputs.

8. Scope for improving Potential and sustainable use of land resources • Ample of scope for improving potential of land resources- • Exploiting irrigation potential • Provisioning appropriate drainage facilities • Appropriate and adequate soil amelioration • Adoption of proper nutrient and soil management practices. • Capacity building of farmers and extension functionaries. • Reclamation of degraded land through proper treatment. • Reduce the extent of fallow land through proper usage
