For most crops. How the soil score works

Rain

About 2,636 mm in Whole year

January–December, in a normal year. A dry year brings about 2,216 mm.

Temperature

Days about 24 °C, nights 14 °C in Whole year

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

Your soil test results
All soil results
  • Nitrogen

    From 13,981 soil tests

    Okay

    Low 22% Medium 77% High 1%

    2 in 10 soil tests here came out low

    If your field is low: add about a quarter more urea than the usual dose, in two or three splits. A pulse crop in rotation also adds nitrogen.

    What this means

    Grows leaves and stems. Short soil gives pale, yellow leaves.

    Low under 280 kg/ha Medium 280–560 kg/ha High over 560 kg/ha

    Healthy soil has 280 kg/ha or more.

  • Phosphorus

    From 13,989 soil tests

    Good

    Medium 49% High 51%

    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 13,994 soil tests

    Good

    Low 15% Medium 77% High 9%

    1 in 10 soil tests here came out low

    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 13,956 soil tests

    Good

    Low 3% Medium 21% High 76%

    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 13,902 soil tests

    Okay

    Acidic 37% Neutral 63%

    4 in 10 soil tests here came out acidic

    If your field is acidic: add agricultural lime before sowing. A soil lab works out how much your field needs.

    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 13,943 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 13,995 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.

    Short under 10 ppm Enough 10 ppm or more

    Healthy soil has 10 ppm or more.

  • Zinc

    From 13,997 soil tests

    Good

    Short 8% Enough 92%

    From 13,999 soil tests

    Okay

    Short 35% Enough 65%

    4 in 10 soil tests here came out short

    If your field is short: mix 4 kg of borax per acre into the soil before sowing.

    What this means

    Needed for flowers to set seed and fruit.

    Short under 0.5 ppm Enough 0.5 ppm or more

    Healthy soil has 0.5 ppm or more.

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

Sowing Growing Harvest

  1. Plum

    Holds the land all year

    No figures for your district: its government crop records list no area or yield for this crop. Priced from mandis across India.

    ₹94,000–₹1.4 lakh

    per acre a year, before costs

    once bearing, from about year 3

    After typical costs: ₹54,000–₹1.0 lakh an acre a year

    • Suits: Rain is enough
    • Suits: Ideal temperatures
    • Suits: Soil 9/10
    Why, and how to make it work

    Water

    Rain is enough, even in a dry year.

    Needs about 900 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 1,880 mm it can use in a normal year, and 1,430 mm in a dry year.

    Heavy rain here can waterlog it. Grow it on raised beds or land that drains well.

    Temperature

    Grows best at 18–33 °C on average, and survives 6–36 °C.

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

    • Jun 27 °C / 19 °C
    • Jul 27 °C / 20 °C
    • Aug 27 °C / 20 °C

    Months in orange are outside its best range.

    Soil

    Soil for Plum: 9 out of 10 (good).

    • The pH here suits it.
    • Many fields here are short of boron, which it needs a lot.

    Likes pH 5.5–6.1.

    How the soil score works

    Money

    Yield: about 16 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).

    A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 3 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.

    Mandi price at last season's harvest (May–July 2026): about ₹7,300 a quintal across India's mandis.

    Average mandi price each year (₹ a quintal):
    1. ₹4,060 2021
    2. ₹4,500 2022
    3. ₹5,500 2023
    4. ₹5,800 2024
    5. ₹6,380 2025

    Prices are usually best in February.

    Typical costs are about ₹40,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.

Possible, with effort 37

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

    Why, and how to make it work

    Water

    Rain is enough, even in a dry year.

    Needs about 840 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 1,880 mm it can use in a normal year, and 1,430 mm in a dry year.

    Heavy rain here can waterlog it. Grow it on raised beds or land that drains well.

    Temperature

    Grows best at 26–32 °C on average, and survives 13–38 °C.

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

    • Jun 27 °C / 19 °C (outside its best range)

    Nights in January can bring frost. When frost is forecast, water the field lightly in the evening.

    Soil

    Soil for Lime (Kagzi): 9 out of 10 (good).

    • The pH here suits it.
    • Many fields here are short of boron, which it needs a lot.

    Likes pH 6.0–6.5.

    How the soil score works

    Money

    Yield: about 46 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).

    A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 3 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.

    Mandi price through the year (December 2025–May 2026, July–November 2026): about ₹5,500 a quintal across India's mandis.

    This week: about ₹6,000 a quintal, the middle of 39 mandis across India (latest 13 Nov). At that price an acre would leave about ₹1.8 lakh a year after typical costs.

    Average mandi price each year (₹ a quintal):
    1. ₹2,450 2021
    2. ₹3,360 2022
    3. ₹3,500 2023
    4. ₹5,000 2024
    5. ₹3,700 2025

    Prices swing a lot from year to year, so income can be well above or below this range.

    Prices are usually best in October.

    Typical costs are about ₹94,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2023–2025), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.

  7. Litchi
