<strong>Soil</strong> <strong>Fertility</strong> <strong>Status</strong><br />

of North-Western States of India<br />

B. Based on State wise NPK nutrient index, following conclusions have been drawn and<br />

details have been presented in Table 2:<br />

i. <strong>Soil</strong>s of Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Punjab Himachal Pradesh and low status in<br />

and Haryana were found low whereas soils Assam & Uttrakhand states.<br />

of Madhya Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir,<br />

W e s t B e n g a l , A s s a m , G u j a r a t ,<br />

On overall basis, it may be concluded that soils<br />

Chhattisgarh and Uttrakhand were found<br />

of North-Western India were low in available<br />

medium and soil of Himachal Pradesh was<br />

nitrogen & phosphorous and high in available<br />

high in available nitrogen contents.<br />

potash status.<br />

ii.<br />

All soils of North-Western states in India<br />

were low in available phosphorous status<br />

except Punjab where it was medium and<br />

West Bengal & Assam were high.<br />

Low<br />

Nitrogen<br />

Phosphorus<br />

iii.<br />

Most of the soils in available potash were<br />

found high status (Punjab, Rajasthan,<br />

Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and<br />

Chhattisgarh), medium in Uttar Pradesh,<br />

Jammu & Kashmir, West Bengal and<br />

High<br />

Potassium<br />

C. Based on District wise NPK nutrient index, following conclusions have been drawn and<br />

details have been presented in Table 3:<br />

i. <strong>Soil</strong>s of 100, 101 and 19 districts of North- districts of North-Western Indian States<br />

Western Indian States were found low, respectively.<br />

medium and high status in available<br />

nitrogen content, respectively.<br />

Thus, it is inferred from the results that there is<br />

ii. Available phosphorous were found<br />

wide spread deficiency (165 districts) of<br />

phosphorous in North-Western Indian states.<br />

low, medium and high in soils of 165, Low to medium status in available nitrogen<br />

47 and 8 districts of North-Western (201 districts) and potash (128 districts),<br />

Indian States.<br />

respectively. Hence, there is a need to apply<br />

the balanced dosage of plant nutrients in order<br />

iii. <strong>Status</strong> of available potash was found low, to maximise crop production.<br />

medium and high in 24, 104 and 92<br />

Nitrogen Deficiency Phosphorous Deficiency Potash Deficiency<br />
