Soil Health Cards
 Massive programme for distribution of soil analysis including
micro nutrients & distribution of Soil Health Cards
 A massive drive of testing 2,20,000 soil samples ( 5 from each
village) are taken during 2008-09 .
 Help to generate fertility index maps for all the villages .
 This maps in turn will enable us to bring qualitative
improvement in nutrient management.

FERTILIZER
• Buffer stock scheme for Urea, DAP & Complexes may please
be revived.
• Increased area under Bt-Cotton & Soybean has increased the
demand for DAP & Complexes at the time of sowing
• SSP concession Policy should be continued
• Less SSP production due to availability of rock phosphate,
which resulted in increased demand for DAP
• Sufficient rakes should be made available by railway authorities
for smooth movement of fertilizers.
• Promotion of water soluble fertilizers
– Subsidy should be given to water soluble fertilizer like other fertilizers
• RCF plant should start production of 20:20:0 immediately to
minimize the supply gap of complex fertilizer
• RCF should supply the required Gypsum, which is bi-product
of fertilizer industry
TRANSPORT
• BPT/ JNPT need to establish facility for imports & bagging of
fertilisers for transporting fertilisers to kandla
• Strengthening of existing ports at Dharamtar & Karwar
• New port facilities at Vijaydurg in Sindhudurg, Dighi, Revas in
Raigad, Alewadi in Thane
• For promoting inter state trade present railway network needs to be
provided with refrigeration facilities for transportation of fruits &
vegetables all over the country
• There should be private initiative for transport of vegetables & fruits,
urgent initiatives needs to be taken by Ministry of Agril. GOI
• Transport subsidy for fertilizer needs detail guidelines for
manufacturers, which is not still in operation
