Land & Soil Health Management (LDN / NRM)

National soil mapping initiative for better land-use planning

Combines crop rotation, cover crops, and soil conservation practices

Conservation agriculture technique reducing soil erosion and improving carbon retention

Site-specific nutrient management improving productivity and sustainability

Standardized system for soil classification used nationwide for land management

Bio-drainage using eucalyptus; gypsum application; mung bean/mustard salt-tolerant varieties; reclamation of sodic and saline soils

Spatial variability maps: pH, SOC, Zn, B, Fe, Mn, Cu in 640 districts using ArcGIS and ordinary kriging

Interactive web tool; rapid SQI computation; quantifies and compares soil quality across sites and treatments

ZnSO4 or KH2PO4 @ 10 g/L; improves germination, root growth, nutrient uptake under moisture-stress conditions

Broad beds (5.5 m) alternated with furrows (3 m);
