Rain

About 1,123 mm in Whole year

January–December, in a normal year. A dry year brings about 894 mm.

Your soil test results
All soil results

  • Nitrogen

    From 7,323 soil tests

    Okay

    Low 26% Medium 71% High 3%

    3 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 7,330 soil tests

    Good

    Low 15% Medium 85%

    2 in 10 soil tests here came out low

    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 7,330 soil tests

    Okay

    Low 32% Medium 68%

    3 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.

  • Organic carbon

    From 7,288 soil tests

    Okay

    Low 45% Medium 43% High 12%

    5 in 10 soil tests 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.

  • pH

    From 7,141 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 7,232 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.

Too few tests here to judge sulphur (1 test), zinc (36 tests), iron (36 tests), copper (36 tests) and manganese (36 tests), out of 7,330 soil samples.

Not tested here: boron.

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

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. Grapes

    Holds the land all year

    No figures for your district: its government crop records list no area or yield for this crop. Sold at 4 mandis in your district.

    ₹4.8 lakh–₹7.1 lakh

    per acre a year, before costs

    once bearing, from about year 2

    After typical costs: ₹2.3 lakh–₹4.6 lakh an acre a year

    • Needs care: Risky: 5 irrigations short
    • Suits: Ideal temperatures
    • Suits: Soil 9/10
    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 880 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 680 mm it can use in a normal year, and 580 mm in a dry year.

    Temperature

    Grows best at 18–30 °C on average, and survives 10–38 °C.

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

    How the soil score works

    Money

    Yield: about 77 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.

    On rain alone it gets about 77% of the water it needs, so the money here is worked at 77% of this yield.

    Mandi price at last season's harvest (February–April 2026): about ₹10,000 a quintal at mandis in your district.

    Prices are usually best in January.

    Typical costs are about ₹2.5 lakh an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.

  2. Pineapple

    Soil

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

    Not in the score: sulphur, zinc, iron and 3 more.

    Likes pH 5.5–7.5.

    How the soil score works

    Money

    Yield: about 45 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.

    Mandi price at last season's harvest (January–March 2026): about ₹4,500 a quintal across mandis in your state.

    Prices are usually best in December.

    Typical costs are about ₹66,000 an acre: about half of what a usual harvest earns (2024–2026), as in farm cost surveys. They are spent whatever the harvest.

  9. Cashew

    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.

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

    • Needs care: Risky: 9 irrigations short
    • Needs care: Frost risk in January
    • Suits: Soil 9/10
    Why, and how to make it work

    Water

    Rain falls about 9 irrigations (5 cm each) short in a normal year, so it's risky without water.

    Needs about 1,090 mm of water here in its growing months. Rain gives about 680 mm it can use in a normal year, and 580 mm in a dry year.

    Temperature

    Grows best at 15–35 °C on average, and survives 5–46 °C.
