Soil Sampling
First of all, the Field Facilitators gave advisory services
to the farmers about soil sampling so that they should know
about their needed inputs. For this purpose all the Field
Facilitators were asked to collect randomly 10 soil samples
from their block and each sample will be collected from
0"-6" and 6"-12" depth. So total 116 samples were collected.
63 from UC Chak no. 24/BC and 53 from UC Jamrani Kohna.
According to the soil sampling results, there is too much
shortage of Organic matter, Potassium & Phosphorus in soil.
After the results of these soil samples, now farmers know
that what is the need of their lands. Now they are using
balance fertilizers which are needed.
