| Abstract/Description: | Plant needs at least 16 nutrient elements for proper growth and development. To know the status of these nutrient elements in soils of Kelapur block of Yavatmal district of Maharashtra, soil fertility maps and Soil Health Cards (SHC) were generated. More than 5,000 surface soil samples (0-15 cm depth) were collected at a distance of 325 m × 325 m using Global Positioning System (GPS) techniques. Information related to name of farmers, address, present land use, crop history, traditional fertilizer use, irrigated or rainfed status and coordinates were collected for implementing the concept of precision agriculture in Kelapur block. Samples were analyzed for the available major nutrients (N, P, K), micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu) and sulphur. Soil samples were also analyzed for soil reaction (pH), organic carbon and salinity (EC). Soil fertility maps were generated using GIS techniques. |
