Soil score

Okay

Short in most fields here: phosphorus, potassium, sulphur and manganese.

Too acidic in most fields here.

For most crops. How the soil score works

Rain

About 2,376 mm in Whole year

January–December, in a normal year. A dry year brings about 1,938 mm.

Temperature

Days about 20 °C, nights 10 °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 (4 nutrients)

  • Phosphorus

    From 1,723 soil tests

    Poor

    Low 55% Medium 13% High 32%

    6 in 10 soil tests here came out low

    If your field is low: add about a quarter more DAP or single super phosphate than the usual dose, at sowing.

    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 2,012 soil tests

    Poor

    Low 64% Medium 33% High 3%

    6 in 10 soil tests here came out low

    If your field is low: add about a quarter more potash (MOP) than the usual dose.

    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.

  • Sulphur

    From 2,344 soil tests

    Poor

    Short 63% Enough 37%

    6 in 10 soil tests here came out short

    If your field is short: use single super phosphate instead of DAP, or add about 100 kg of gypsum per acre before sowing.

    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.

  • Manganese

    From 2,234 soil tests

    Poor

    Short 63% Enough 37%

    6 in 10 soil tests here came out short

    If your field is short: spray manganese sulphate, 5 g per litre of water, on the young crop.

    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.

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

Other soil results

  • Nitrogen

    From 2,349 soil tests

    Good

    Low 14% Medium 86% High 1%

    1 in 10 soil tests here came out low

    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.

  • Organic carbon

    From 2,349 soil tests

    Good

    Low 14% Medium 55% High 31%

    1 in 10 soil tests here came out low

    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 2,349 soil tests

    Poor

    Acidic 57% Neutral 43%

    6 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 2,349 soil tests

    Good

    Not salty 92% Salty 8%

    1 in 10 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.

  • Zinc

    From 2,119 soil tests

    Okay

    Short 27% Enough 73%

    3 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 2,253 soil tests

    Good

    Short 3% Enough 97%

    Almost every soil test here had enough

    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.

  • Copper

    From 2,347 soil tests

    Good

    Short 9% Enough 91%

    1 in 10 soil tests here came out short

    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.

  • Boron

    From 2,340 soil tests

    Okay

    Short 27% Enough 73%

    3 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.

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.

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. Apple

    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.

    ₹2.4 lakh–₹3.6 lakh

    per acre a year, before costs

    once bearing, from about year 5

    After typical costs: ₹1.0 lakh–₹2.2 lakh an acre a year

    • Suits: Ideal temperatures
    • Needs care: Soil 7/10
    Why, and how to make it work

    Water

    Rain is enough, even in a dry year.

    Needs about 820 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 1,860 mm it can use in a normal year, and 1,410 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 14–27 °C on average, and survives 8–33 °C.

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

    • Jun 25 °C / 16 °C
    • Jul 25 °C / 17 °C

    How the soil score works

    Money

    Yield: about 38 quintals an acre, the typical figure across India (no figures for your state).

    A new planting gives its first real harvest after about 5 years. The money here is for plants already bearing.

    Mandi price at last season's harvest (August–October 2026): about ₹8,000 a quintal across India's mandis.

    This week: about ₹7,400 a quintal, the middle of 205 mandis across India (latest 13 Nov). At that price an acre would leave about ₹1.4 lakh a year after typical costs.

    Average mandi price each year (₹ a quintal):
    1. ₹7,380 2021
    2. ₹6,740 2022
    3. ₹6,900 2023
    4. ₹7,510 2024
    5. ₹8,210 2025

    Prices are usually best in July.

    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.

    How to make it work

    per acre a year, before costs

    once bearing, from about year 2

    Why, and how to make it work

    Water

    Rain is enough, even in a dry year.

    Needs about 860 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 1,860 mm it can use in a normal year, and 1,410 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 20–33 °C on average, and survives 10–45 °C.

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

    • Jun 25 °C / 16 °C

    Soil

    Soil for Guava: 8 out of 10 (good).

    • The pH here suits it, though not most crops.
    • Many fields here are short of potassium, which it needs a lot.
    • Many fields here are short of zinc, which it needs a lot.
    • Many fields here are short of boron, which it needs a lot.

    Likes pH 5.5–7.5.

    How the soil score works

    Money

    Yield: about 60 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.

    Mandi price at last season's harvest (December 2025–February 2026): about ₹3,000 a quintal across India's mandis.

    This week: about ₹4,000 a quintal, the middle of 130 mandis across India (latest 13 Nov). At that price an acre would leave about ₹1.5 lakh a year after typical costs.

    Average mandi price each year (₹ a quintal):
    1. ₹2,580 2021
    2. ₹2,500 2022
