The strategy for increasing crop production is either based on bringing new lands under cultivation or through intensive cultivation with improved management practices. Nevertheless, both the strategies require constant monitoring of soil fertility status to avoid nutrient deficiency that is one of the major constraints for crop production and it is a decisive tool for farmers and policy planners in soil nutrient management. The integrated watershed management program called SUJALA by the watershed department, Karnataka facilitated to diagnose the soil nutrient status in rainfed areas of Karnataka by collecting soil samples at grid interval from the farmer’s field. A total of 34011 georeferenced composite samples (0–15 cm) were collected at a 325x325 m grid interval to analyze the fertility status of soils. The samples were aggregated under different agro-climatic zones of Karnataka to assess the soil fertility status under each zone. The results showed that per cent sample of low soil organic carbon ( Not Available |
