THE PROSPECTS AND CHALLENGES OF SOIL HEALTH CARD SCHEME
Journal Title: International Journal of Agricultural Science and Research (IJASR) - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 6
Abstract
Owing to the change in the preferences of crop production techniques over a period of time, several new challenges have drawn attention to the food security. One such improved technology is Integrated Nutrient Management which refers to the maintenance of soil fertility and plant nutrient supply at an optimum level. Lack of one or more nutrients in the soil may cause reduction in the crop yield even though an adequate amount of other nutrients is available. To maintain soil fertility Government of India has launched the Soil Health Card Scheme on 17 February 2015. The main aim behind the scheme was to find out the type of a particular soil and provide ways in which they can improve it. This research aimed to study the awareness level of Soil Health Card Scheme among farmers in study area i.e. Bikaner. It also discussed about the effectiveness of this scheme. This study also undertook the constraints in adoption and implementation of this scheme. This research would provide a way to policy makers to improve the lacunae in the existing scheme and to make the scheme accessible to all the farmers of the country by increasing awareness and eliminating constraints.
