Soil score

Okay

Short in most fields here: organic carbon, zinc and iron.

Not in the score: nitrogen and boron.

For most crops. How the soil score works

Rain

About 787 mm in Whole year

January–December, in a normal year. A dry year brings about 591 mm.

Temperature

Days about 34 °C, nights 19 °C in Whole year

Typical of the district's villages; a farm much higher or lower can be a few degrees cooler or warmer.

What's short in your soil, and what to do (3 nutrients)

  • Organic carbon

    From 14,607 soil tests

    Poor

    Low 99%

    Almost every soil test here came out low

    If your field is low: add 4 tonnes of compost or farmyard manure per acre before sowing, and plough crop leftovers back in instead of burning them.

    What this means

    Shows how much organic matter the soil has. It keeps soil loose, holds water and feeds the crop slowly.

    Low under 0.5% Medium 0.5–0.75% High over 0.75%

    Healthy soil has 0.5% or more.

  • Zinc

    From 14,606 soil tests

    Poor

    Short 80% Enough 20%

    8 in 10 soil tests here came out short

    If your field is short: mix 10 kg of zinc sulphate per acre into the soil before sowing. One dose lasts two or three seasons.

    What this means

    Needed for growth and healthy leaves. Rice and wheat often run short.

    Short under 0.6 ppm Enough 0.6 ppm or more

    Healthy soil has 0.6 ppm or more.

  • Iron

    From 14,607 soil tests

    Poor

    Short 53% Enough 47%

    5 in 10 soil tests here came out short

    If your field is short: spray ferrous sulphate, 5 g per litre of water, when young leaves turn yellow.

    What this means

    Keeps young leaves green.

    Short under 4.5 ppm Enough 4.5 ppm or more

    Healthy soil has 4.5 ppm or more.

Fixes are the usual advice. Your Soil Health Card or nearest Krishi Vigyan Kendra gives the exact dose for your field.

Other soil results

  • Phosphorus

    From 14,607 soil tests

    Good

    Medium 37% High 63%

    Most soil tests here came out high

    If your field is high: you can use about a quarter less DAP than usual.

    What this means

    Builds roots and helps the crop flower and fill grain.

    Low under 10 kg/ha Medium 10–25 kg/ha High over 25 kg/ha

    Healthy soil has 10 kg/ha or more.

  • Potassium

    From 14,607 soil tests

    Good

    Medium 47% High 53%

    Most soil tests here came out high

    If your field is high: you can use about a quarter less potash than usual.

    What this means

    Fills grain and fruit, and helps crops stand drought and disease.

    Low under 110 kg/ha Medium 110–280 kg/ha High over 280 kg/ha

    Healthy soil has 110 kg/ha or more.

  • pH

    From 14,607 soil tests

    Good

    Neutral 97% Alkaline 3%

    Almost every soil test here came out neutral

    What this means

    How sour (acidic) or alkaline the soil is. It decides which nutrients roots can take up.

    Acidic Neutral Alkaline

    In these tests, neutral means about pH 6 to 8, which suits most crops; acidic is below about 6 and alkaline above about 8.

  • Salt

    From 14,607 soil tests

    Okay

    Not salty 76% Salty 24%

    2 in 10 soil tests here came out salty

    If your field is salty: grow crops that take salt, level the field, and wash the salt down with good water before sowing.

    What this means

    Salt in the soil, shown as EC on the card. Salt makes it hard for roots to drink.

    Not salty Salty

    Under 1 dS/m is fine. Between 1 and 4, only crops that can't take salt lose yield. Above 4 harms most crops.

  • Sulphur

    From 10,999 soil tests

    Good

    Enough 100%

    Almost every soil test here had enough

    What this means

    Makes oil in oilseeds and protein in pulses.

    Short under 10 ppm Enough 10 ppm or more

    Healthy soil has 10 ppm or more.

  • Copper

    From 14,605 soil tests

    Good

    Enough 100%

    Almost every soil test here had enough

    What this means

    Helps the crop set seed and resist disease.

    Short under 0.2 ppm Enough 0.2 ppm or more

    Healthy soil has 0.2 ppm or more.

  • Manganese

    From 14,607 soil tests

    Good

    Short 6% Enough 94%

    1 in 10 soil tests here came out short

    What this means

    Helps leaves make food from sunlight.

    Short under 2 ppm Enough 2 ppm or more

    Healthy soil has 2 ppm or more.

Too few tests here to judge nitrogen (1 test) and boron (5 tests), out of 14,607 soil samples.

Good fit 0

Water, temperature and soil type suit; amber shows what needs care, such as nutrients to add. Sorted by what is likely left per acre after costs; risky crops come lower.

Nothing fits well this season. Look at the crops below that are possible with effort, or try another season.

Possible, with effort 2

Each needs something extra: irrigation, soil care or a careful sowing time, or it likely loses money at typical costs. The card says what.

Sowing Growing Harvest

  1. Dragon Fruit

    Holds the land all year

    No figures for your district: its government crop records list no area or yield for this crop.

    Only with irrigation: rain gives too little of its water to count on

    • Needs care: Risky: 5 irrigations short
    • Needs care: Very hot in June
    • Suits: Soil 8/10
    Why, and how to make it work

    Water

    Rain falls about 5 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.

    Needs about 660 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 460 mm it can use in a normal year, and 330 mm in a dry year.

    Temperature

    Grows best at 18–28 °C on average, and survives 12–34 °C.

    Here, in its growing months (day / night):

    • Jun 41 °C / 29 °C (outside its best range)
    • Jul 35 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)
    • Aug 33 °C / 26 °C (outside its best range)
    • Sep 35 °C / 25 °C (outside its best range)
    • Oct 35 °C / 20 °C
    • Nov 31 °C / 13 °C
    • Dec 25 °C / 9 °C (outside its best range)
    • Jan 23 °C / 8 °C (outside its best range)
    • Feb 28 °C / 11 °C
    • Mar 34 °C / 17 °C
    • Apr 40 °C / 23 °C (outside its best range)
    • May 43 °C / 28 °C (outside its best range)
    • Jun 41 °C / 29 °C (outside its best range)

    Months in orange are outside its best range.

    Days in June get hotter than it likes. Young plants need shade and water then.

    Soil

    Soil for Dragon Fruit: 8 out of 10 (good).

    Not in the score: nitrogen and boron.

    • The pH here suits it.
    • Salt in the soil here can harm it.
    • Many fields here are short of zinc, which it needs a lot.
    • Most fields here are short of organic carbon.
    • Most fields here are short of iron.

    Likes pH 5.3–6.7.

    How the soil score works

    Money

    Yield: about 23 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).

    A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 2 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.

    Rain gives it too little of the water it needs, so there's no income figure on rain alone: grow it only with irrigation.

    No mandi or support price for this crop yet.

    How to make it work

    • Short of organic carbon Your soil is likely short of organic carbon.

      Add 4 tonnes of compost or farmyard manure per acre before sowing, and plough crop leftovers back in instead of burning them.

      Ask your Krishi Vigyan Kendra what to add for this crop.

    • Short of zinc Your soil is likely short of zinc.

      Mix 10 kg of zinc sulphate per acre into the soil before sowing. One dose lasts two or three seasons.

      Ask your Krishi Vigyan Kendra what to add for this crop.

    • Short of iron Your soil is likely short of iron.

      Spray ferrous sulphate, 5 g per litre of water, when young leaves turn yellow.

      Ask your Krishi Vigyan Kendra what to add for this crop.

    How the soil score works

    Money

    Yield: about 15 quintals an acre, the typical figure in your state (its government crop records list none for your district).

    A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 2 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.

    Rain gives it too little of the water it needs, so there's no income figure on rain alone: grow it only with irrigation.

    Mandi price at last season's harvest (July–September 2026): about ₹5,000 a quintal across mandis in your state.

    Average mandi price each year (₹ a quintal):
    1. ₹3,300 2021
    2. ₹3,200 2022
    3. ₹3,400 2023
    4. ₹4,480 2024
    5. ₹3,780 2025

    Prices are usually best in June.

    Typical costs are about ₹1.4 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.
