<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 />

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 />
