Facility to send SMS to farmers mobile in local language immediately after analysis has been launched by Department of Agriculture, AP on 8 th Feb 2014. Based on the soil analysis results micronutrients and Gypsum are being supplied to farmers on 50% subsidy. During 2014-15 Zinc Sulphate 6745Mtons, Boron 182.96Mtons and Gypsum 17046 Mtons has been supplied to the farmers under various schemes. Soil sample Targets & Achievements- 2014-15

11. SOIL TESTING PROGRAMME IN AP 2015-16 SOIL SAMPLES COLLECTION : Special drive has been taken up for soil samples collection. Every Soil sample location is recorded by GPS instrument 1983 GPS instruments have been provided to field functionaries through State Govt funds. 3,04,495 soil samples are planned to collect during 2015-16 @ 20-25 samples per revenue village. Campaigns are being conducted to create awareness on importance of soil sampling & process to be adopted for soil sample collection by adopting latest geo-spatial data & techniques. The sample collection targets week wise have been communicated & samples are being collected involving all the Dept officers & farmers Contd…

12. Expression of Interest has been invited from Companies/ Registered NGO’s/Institutes/Associations/Organizations etc having experience of satisfactory and successful work in rural areas of AP in soil testing on PPP mode. Soil samples are being collected based on the norms given by GOI covering both irrigated & rain fed areas, covering farmers from marginal, small, semi medium, medium and large farms. The results of Soil samples will be uploaded to Agrisnet portal of Dept of Ag, Govt of AP. Soil analysis results will also be sent to farmers’ through SMS to their mobile phones in Telugu.

13. 13 of 64 Soil health cards will be distributed to farmers before commencement of sowings. Village level interactive meetings will be arranged on Soil health status and farmers will be provided with recommendations based on soil test results to promote balanced & Integrated Nutrient Management (INM). Village level soil fertility maps will be prepared based on the soil test data. Micro-nutrient deficient areas will identified based on Soil test data & the required quantities of micronutrients will be distributed to farmers on 50% subsidy.
