| الوصف: |
Resource poor farmers use semi-arid tropic soils of southern India for castor cultivation. These soils are wellknown for their low soil fertility thus resulting in poor castor seed yield. Conventional soil tests of laboratory willtake more time. Based on these, fertiliser recommendations to the farmers is seldom delivered in time. Soil test kits (STKs) developed by Acharya N G Ranga Agricultural University, Hyderabad and Coromandal Fertilisers Ltd.,Secunderabad is quiet handy in determining the physico-chemical properties on the spot and advice fertiliserrecommendations to the farmers. In the present study, results obtained by using these STKs and conventionallaboratory testswere compared. The parameters viz., pH, organic carbon, available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur and micronutrients (zinc, boron and iron) were in close agreement with that of laboratory tests. Thus, for a quick diagnosis of soil fertility status, STKs are highly useful and accordingly fertiliser recommendations can be given to farmers. |
