Community watersheds technically supported by the consortium of institutions adopt holistic system's
approach as against the compattmental approach of soil and water conservation. ICRlSAT-led consortium used
characterization of soil resources in the benchmark watersheds (Semli and Shyampura Watersheds, Dewas district
and Madhusudangadh watershed, Guna district in Madhya Pradesh and Bundi Watershed, Bundi district in Rajasthan)
as an entry point activity. Stratified sampling of fields on a toposequence in the watersheds revealed widespread
deficiency of multiple nutrients particularly Zn (67-100 %), B (72-100 %) with an exception of Guna and S (72-100
%) along with Nand P which could be limiting the yield potential in the watersheds. Fanners' participatory research
trials with different crops showed tremendous yield advantages upto 79 % over the farmers practice. The FPR trials
also showed economic viability of amendment options with a net increased profit of Rs. 8190 ha,J in case of wheat and
Rs. 10740 with chickpea in M.P. watersheds. These FPR trials highlighted the urgency to provide right information
about soil health to the farmers in time and empowering them to adopt balanced nutrient management strategies for
increasing productivity and minimizing cost of inputs which are unnecessary.
