Scientific Input Management

Balance &

Integrated use

Qualitative & Suitable varieties

IPM & proper

application

technique

Multifunctional and affordable

Intensive agriculture is depends on material input but could be sustainable and could access in easy manner.

Integrated Nutrient Management (INM)

INM which includes soil test based balanced and judicious use of chemical fertilizers in conjunction with biofertilizers, and organic manures like FYM, compost, vermicompost

Encourage bio-pesticide usageEncourage bio-control agents

Concept of Judicious Use of Fertilizers

Development of Soil Test based agro-climatic zone wise package of practices for all crops

Soil Testing Number of Soil Testing Laboratories in the country: 1049 No. of Soil Samples Analysed per year : 85 lakh (capacity 1

cr/year) No. of land holdings: 12 cr

Individual Soil Health Card Time limit: to be completed in 12th five year plan Soil Testing kits- agencies to be identified for taking up the soil

testing at farmer level Help of KVKs and other technical agencies Through PPP Mode Soil Fertility Maps: for districts, blocks and villages Bhoo Chetana Technology Model

Fertilizer Use Efficiency

Soil CarbonIncrease of soil carbon by application of FYM,

compost, green manuring, other humus adding material

Problematic soils to be addressedSoil Amendments

Gypsum application, lime applicationUse of slow release fertilizers such as Neem

Coated, Sulphur Coated Urea

Establishment of Laboratories

Soil Testing Laboratories (STLs)Fertilizer Quality Control Labs. (FQCLs)Pesticide Quality Control Labs.Bio-pesticide testing Labs.Biofertiliser Testing Labs. (12th Plan)

Use of Complex & Customized Fertilizers

Use of complex fertilizers (NPK) and customized fertilizers which are considered to be agronomical better and more balanced fertilizers in place of straight fertilizers like urea, DAP, MOP

Use of Fortified Fertilizers

Use of fertilizers fortified with micro-nutrients should be encouraged besides using micro-nutrients separately

Micro-nutrient status to be analysed

Blending of micro-nutrients in the regular complex fertilizers and straight fertilizers

Use of Biofetilizers

Use of phosphate solubilizing bacteria to save phosphatic chemical fertilizers

Use of Azospirillum, Azotobacter, Rhizobium to save N chemical fertilizers

Use of potash mobilizing biofertilizers to save K chemical fertilizers

Above biofertilisers can supplement upto 20-25% of chemical fertilizers (NPK)

Seed supplying agencies compulsorily provide biofertilisers and seed treating material along with seed packets

Organic Farming & Organic Fertilizers

Use of all natural resources like:- FYM, Vermicompost, Green manure, Fruit and Vegetable Waste Compost, MSW compost etc.

Pesticides

Pest surveillance units to be strengthened and surveillance intensified

Good Agricultural Practices (GAP)IPM technologyNABL accreditation of SPTLs for quality control

of pesticidesStrengthening of SPTLs for bio-pesticide testingStates are required to devote special attention to

such growing areas where incidence of over use of pesticides has been detected by setting up farmers field school and intensifying extension activities

GUJARAT: Fertilizers and Pesticides-Future Planning

Conversion of agriculture waste and city compost in organic manure on PPP mode.

Incentive for Green manuring and free services of rotavator to burry the crop

Laboratory for mapping and atlas preparation of beneficial organism

Leaf Tissue Analysis Laboratory

Arunachal Pradesh Research needsSupport Soil classification and Nutrient

indexing &Undertake land use classification through application of Remote sensing &GIS

Develop agro-ecological situation specific crop sequence under rainfed and irrigated conditions

Standardize nutrient requirement on Soil Test Crop Response study
