Assistance for Reclamation of Soil Health
Government of India, Ministry of Agriculture launched a National Project on Management of Soil Health & Fertility (NPMSH&F) in 2008-09 to promote soil test based balanced & judicious use of fertilizers in conjunction with organic manures and
Bio-fertilizers to increase soil fertility and productivity across the country. NPMSH&F has been subsumed under Soil Health Management (SHM) as one of the components of National Mission for Sustainable Agriculture (NMSA) launched in April, 2014, being implemented across the country including Karnataka. SHM aims at promotion of integrated nutrient management through judicious use of chemical fertilizers including secondary and micro nutrients in conjunction with organic manures for improving soil health and its productivity; including strengthening of soil testing facilities to provide soil test based recommendations to farmers for improving soil fertility. State-wise funds released in last three years (2012-13 to 2014-15) and allocation of fund during current year (2015-16) is at Annexure-I.
Department of Agricultural Research & Education - Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR), Government of India, Ministry of Agriculture has conducted various studies and reported that inadequate and imbalanced use of nutrients and low use of organic manures have lead to deterioration of soil health including multi-nutrient deficiencies affecting crop yields. Accordingly, State governments have been provided Central Assistance under NPMSH&F/SHM for setting-up static & mobile soil testing laboratories across the country to ensure soil test based balanced use of both inorganic and organic fertilizers for management of soil health and fertility. State-wise details of Soil Testing Laboratories established is at Annexure-II.
Government of India, Ministry of Agriculture has received various proposals for seeking financial assistance for improvement of soil health and fertility. State-wise details of funds released (2012-15) and allocation during current year(2015-16) is also given in Annexure–I. Besides, various interventions have been intensified under ongoing schemes/programmes/missions, namely; National Food Security Mission (NFSM), National Mission on Oilseeds and Oil Farms and Oilpalm (NMOOP), National Mission on Agricultural Extension and Technology (NMAET), Mission of Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) and Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) etc. for sustaining soil fertility and food grain production in the country.
