Your soil test results
All soil results
  • Phosphorus

    From 6,632 soil tests

    Good

    Low 3% Medium 79% High 18%

    Almost every soil test here had enough

    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 6,632 soil tests

    Good

    Low 3% Medium 85% High 12%

    Almost every soil test here had enough

    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.

  • Organic carbon

    From 6,630 soil tests

    Good

    Low 7% Medium 43% High 50%

    Most soil tests here came out high

    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.

  • pH

    From 6,620 soil tests

    Good

    Neutral 100%

    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 6,625 soil tests

    Good

    Not salty 100%

    Almost no soil tests here came out salty

    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 6,631 soil tests

    Good

    Short 1% Enough 99%

    Almost every soil test here had enough

    What this means

    Makes oil in oilseeds and protein in pulses.

The tests here for nitrogen look like a testing error: almost every test reads the same, unlike the districts around. They aren't used.

Too few tests here to judge boron (5 tests), out of 6,633 soil samples.

    Needs about 390 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 650 mm it can use in a normal year, and 600 mm in a dry year.

    Temperature

    Grows best at 18–33 °C on average, and survives 10–47 °C.

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

    • Jun 37 °C / 26 °C
    • Jul 32 °C / 25 °C
    • Aug 31 °C / 24 °C
    • Sep 31 °C / 23 °C

    • The pH here suits it.

    Likes pH 5.0–7.0.

    How the soil score works

    Money

    Yield: about 7.4 quintals an acre here in this season (district figures).

    Mandi price at last season's harvest (September–October 2026): about ₹2,350 a quintal across India's mandis.

    Minimum support price: ₹2,410 a quintal (2026-27), if you sell to government procurement.

    Average mandi price each year (₹ a quintal):
    1. ₹1,580 2021
    2. ₹2,020 2022
    3. ₹2,010 2023
    4. ₹2,230 2024
    5. ₹2,150 2025

    Prices are usually best in November.

    Typical costs are about ₹22,000 an acre (seed, fertiliser, labour and hired machines, from the government's cost survey). They are spent whatever the harvest.

    How to make it work

    The better districts with similar soil, rain and warmth get 12 quintals an acre. That's a realistic target.

    What local farmers put on it (share of fields):

    • Urea 100%
    • Zinc Sulphate Heptahydrate / Monohydrate 0%
    • Nitro Phosphate Potash 0%
    • Calcium Ammonium Nitrate 0%
