SFAR- Soil Science

The Soil Science Section of the Division of NRM has developed a desktop based application- SFAR (Soil Fertility Assessment and Recommendation) covering 12 important soil parameters (soil acidity, carbon, macro- and micronutrients) for acid soils of NE Region. The use of this software will felicitate in assessing the status of soil health (poor/medium/high) from the field test results, and accordingly, a recommendation guide covering location specific soil acidity and plant nutrient managements for 10 important crops (rice, maize, pulses & vegetables) have been provided in this application. The potential user will be farmer's, KVKs, NGOs, State departments etc. for maintaining land productity across NER of India. By and large, it comes under the gambit of Soil Health Card + Recommendation. We believe, we trust it will be of immense help to the concerned stakeholders including farmers in restoring soil health while improving crop productivity.
