The tests here for potassium 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 phosphorus (28 tests), organic carbon (27 tests), pH (25 tests) and salt (27 tests), out of 30 soil samples.

Not tested here: nitrogen and boron.

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