 Total agricultural land : 2,99,264 Ha
 It has been directed by the C&DA to cover the total extent by soil
sampling in three phases every year covering 1/3 of total area
 In the year 2015-16 total of 27,500 soil samples have been collected
against annual target of 27,000 and analysed in the soil testing labs.
 Soil Health Cards have been prepared and distributed to the farmers
 First time in the state of AP Soil Health cards have been issued to
1,42,000 co farmers
 Thus covered an area of 99,750 Ha
 A grid size of 2.5 Ha and 10 ha was adopted for irrigated and unirrigated
areas for drawal of one sample
 Targets have been communicated to the extension functionaries in the
month of Dec’2015
 Analysis was completed by July’2015
 Soil health cards were distributed to farmers by Aug’2015
 There is provision of analysis of micronutrients existing only in the Soil
Testing Lab, Tadepalligudem with a capacity of 1800 samples per month.
 Services of STL samalkot in adjoining EG District also used (1800 samples
capacity)
 KVK venkataramanna gudem (total 650) Regional Agri research station
Maruteru(Total 1332) also used.
 Proposals for supply of Boron equipment for boron analysis have been
submitted to the DA
 It has been planned to cover 1,00,000 ha of agri land by drawing 72,452
soil samples in the year 2016-17.
 The target of 72,452 soil sampling is proposed to be completed in four
months starting from February 2016 upto May 2016 at rate of 18,113 per
month.
 The analysis of micronutrients can be done in Mobile STL supplied to
the district.
 It is planned to analyse the soil samples for micronutrients at STL
Bhimavaram and STL Jangareddygudem with help of equipment
available in the Mobile STL .

1.1 Measures taken to pool resources :
 K.V.K, Venkataramannagudem (650 samples) & RARS Maruteru (1332)(
Micro Nutrients.. zinc, Gypsum , Iron )
have been involved in soil
analysis for timely distribution of analytical reports to farming
community early in season
1.2 Strengthening equipment test micro nutrients:
 Mobile Soil Testing Lab has been allotted to the District through
which analysis of micro nutrients is being taken up. Boron
equipment has been placed for all to 3 labs working in the district.
SOIL ANALYSIS IN MOBILE VAN
1.3 Steps to deploy trained soil scientist fill up
vacancies in
labs:
 Regularly mandal Agril. Officers are being deputed to AMC labs where
there is no sanctioned strength for timely analysis of samples .
1.4 Measures taken to complete sample analysis in time:
 Deploying field functionaries like MAOs, AEOs & MPEOs.
 Imparting Training in analysis before soil sample collection.
 Utilizing the services of these deployed personnel
 Allocating some soil samples to KVKs & ARS for analysis
1.5 Involvement of farmer by informing schedule of sample
collection:
 Soil sample have been collected with G.P. S coordinates and since the
schedule of soil sample collection was well advertised farmers have
voluntarily associated themselves in collection of soil samples.
1.6 Campaign for sample collection / distribution and
educating farmers
Targets of soil sample collection is prepared and communicated to
field functionaries in month of December/January
 Schedule of soil sample collection has been prepared well in advance
by the extension staff.
 Scheduled communicated to farmers through blackboards located in each
village, in gram sabhas, through Polam Pilustondi Programme in a
campaign mode.
 Farmers have been educated about nutrient status of soils and quantity
of nutrients to be applied to the soils.
 Soils Health cards have been distributed in Polam Pilustundi Programme,
even in places like temples where farmers usually gather in evenings and to
farmers available in field itself.
SOIL HEALTH CARD DISTRIBUTION
1.7. Awareness on soil health
celebration of world soil day.
 World soil day was celebrated
management
in 3 villages
&
in the district on
December 5 by the Departmental staff
 Farmers have attended to this programme and literature has been
supplied to the farmers besides educating them on the need to conserve
soil and to reduce pollution and to reduce cost of cultivation.
 KVK Undi and KVK Venkartramannagudem also celebrated World Soil
Day on Dec 5th wherein
Members of Parliament
participated and addressed the gathering.
of the district
World Soil Day – Tadepalligudem
World Soil Day-Bhimavaram
1.8 Innovative measures:
 165 GPS Devices have been distributed for
identification of grids for soil sampling
collection and to locate latitude & longitude of
the holdings
 Android App developed for Field visits
1.9 OUTCOME OF THE SCHEME:
 Farmers are resorting to judicious use of fertilizers and micronutrients
and could save on the cost of fertilizers on different crops to the tune of
2000-3000 per Acre during Rabi
 Farmers are well versed with the reading and adoption of soil health
recommendation
 Usage of fertilizers has been reduced
compared with
during the season Kharif 2015
Kharif 2014 in terms of urea and complex fertilizers
usage.
 Maps for the villages are being prepared with the available analytical
data
 In spite of Heavy Rains During Nov’2015 Good Yields of paddy & other
crops have been reaped.
1.10 Suggestions for improvement of the
Scheme:
 Sanctioning additional manpower to complete analysis on time and
distribution of SHC to farmers
 Providing advanced equipment to all the labs for taking up
micronutrient analysis in a big way during peak soil samples arrival
 Sanction of addl. staff to attend to analysis in Mobile Soil Testing Labs
 Periodical trainings to be organized to mandal agricultural officers
 ATMA may be involved for continuous training programmes and to
organize block demonstrations exclusively under INM programme
necessary funds may be allocated
2.1 Innovations introduced in implementation of the
programme to achieve its objectives:
Co farmers along with main farmers (1,69,500) have been supplied
for the first time in the State of AP with the Soil Health Cards
 Farmer field books were prepared and distributed to each and every
farmer in the district.
 Farmer wise requirement of fertilizers, micronutrients are
incorporated along with requirement of all other critical inputs
 Actual usage of inputs is monitored through recording in the farmers
field book and also in software developed in house.
 Course correction mid way is also possible in this method.
 Through field books and extension we achieved health card plus
Farmer field books were prepared and distributed to each and every
farmer in the district.
 Calendar of operations for the extension personnel generated
through development of android app
 Separate Mobile labs
provided with Horticulture and
fisheries
department which is unique any where in country
 Single window diagnostic labs are established in Bhimavaram and
Jangareddygudem
2.2B ringing perceptible improvements in systems
/Institutions for achieving scheme goals:
 Supply of micronut rients through INM scheme on subsidy to farmers to
improve crop production and productivity
 Constant campaign through Polampilustondi on advantages of
adopting soil test recommendation given in SHC
 Regular visits of extension personnel with farmers and enlisting the
requirements in farmer field books and arranging supplies as per the
demand
2.3 Making public delivery systems efficient and corruption
free
 AP MARKFED has been made agency for Supply of fertilizers to
PACS and APAGROS has been made agency for supply of micronut
rients in the district .
 Arrangements have been made to supply fertilizers and
micronutrients through PACS in the district where farmers are the
share holders.
 Paddy purchasing centres have been linked with PACS which
facilitated PACS to be viable and without running short of capital for
supply the critical inputs to the farming community
2.5.Extra-ordinary performance on any matter relating to
programme implementation:
 Reduction in the consumption of fertilisers like urea and DAP
 Cost of cultivation is reduced by 2000 to 3000 per Acre during rabi
 Farmers field books takes soil health card to next level
 Farmers field books, Android app, work calender for extension staff
made the initiative achieve stated objectives
 Monitoring the extension activities through above has resulted in the
actual lab to field situation.
Apart from covering 1/3rd agricultural land this year we
Will cover 1/3rd horticultural area and 1/3rd fisheries sector
where apart from soil,water analysis is being carried out.
By next year all three sectors will be fully covered.
