SOIL TESTING
The soil testing laboratory is well equipped and uses Pusa STFR (Soil Test and Fertilizer Recommendation) for analyzing the soil samples and training of the trainers. Pusa STFR Meter has been developed at IARI and is licensed. It has a programmable colorimeter for analysis of soil parameters quantitatively. This soil testing kit analyzes 14 major and micro nutrients and also makes crop-specific fertilizer recommendation with tentative dosage for 100 crops within a short time. The farmers are made aware of the importance, precautions and methods for collecting soil samples for appropriate nutrient analysis. This helps them to achieve higher yields and keeps the soil fertile.
Soil testing is the most important is an important diagnostic tool for determining the nutrient for plants.
Without soil testing, it is very difficult to ensure the right application of fertilisers for the crop and get the optimum yield.
For authentic soil analysis, the soil sample should be taken under an expert guidance or in his presence. IHT provides experts for guiding the soil sampling process in a field.
