Use of GIS Technology in Agriculture for balanced use of fertilizers.

GIS APPLICATION IN AGRICULTURE

GIS Application ---- Present Status Soil Fertility Status maps -: -- NITROGEN,PHOSPHORUS,POTASH Micronutrient deficient areas -: -- Zinc, Iron,Manganese,Copper Water quality maps -: -- Salinity -- Alkalinity( Sodic) Ground water status-: --Water table -- Water logged area

SCOPE IN AGRICULTURE-GIS Geographical area of each village Cultivable area Cultivated area Problem soil – salinity/ alkalinity Water logged area Cropping pattern Fertilizer use List of contact /Beneficiaries farmers Number of tube wells Irrigated area –Canal / Tube well No. of tractors/Implements- combine Harvestor,Zero till machine etc Field demonstration Soil Conservation works ( Location based) Any other information

THRUST AREAS FOR KHARIF, 2009  Promotion of hybrid and basmati paddy cultivation (Hybrid 3.0 lac hectare and basmati paddy 6.25 lac hectare targeted)  Promotion of summer moong cultivation hectare area targeted against last year coverage of hectare  Increasing the area under Bt. Cotton from 3.6 lakh hectares to 5.0 lakh hectares Productivity kg lint/ha kg lint/ha kg lint/ha. (Target)  Promotion of ring pit & wide row spacing method to increase sugarcane productivity  Mechanization of sugarcane farming to reduce the dependence of farmers on labour  Promotion of green manuring to improve soil health ,000 hectares hectares hectares (Targeted)  Supply of micronutrients to replenish micronutrients deficiency.  Promotion of Resource Conserving Technologies. ● Zero Till Seed Drill● Rotavator ● Straw Reaper● Reaper binder ● Lesser leveler
