Regional Agronomic Advisory for Ludhiana Farmers

Do not burn paddy stubble. In-situ incorporation with Super Seeder adds 1.5-2 tonnes of organic matter per acre and saves ₹1,200/acre in urea fertilizer.

On-Campus Infrastructure

Soil Reaction Diagnosis

Neutral (Ideal for Nutrient Uptake)

Soil pH is in the optimal range (6.5 - 7.5). Major and micro nutrients are readily bioavailable.

pH 4.5 (Acidic)pH 7.0pH 10.0 (Sodic)

ICAR Fertilizer Adjustments

Based on the standard Soil Test Crop Response (STCR) protocol (+25% for low, normal for medium, -25% for high):

Nitrogen (Urea):+25% Extra Urea
Phosphorus (DAP/SSP):Standard Dose
Potash (MOP):Standard Dose
Zinc Status:Deficient (Apply 10 kg ZnSO₄)

Soil Amendment Prescription

No Chemical Amendments Needed

Soil pH is favorable. Continue standard nutrient replenishment.

Organic Carbon Strategy:

CRITICAL: Organic carbon is low (< 0.50%). Soil biology and water retention are depleted. Apply 5–8 tonnes of well-rotted FYM, sow green manure (Dhaincha/Sunhemp) before Kharif, and strictly avoid burning crop residues.
