Web-Based Fertilizer Recommendation System Developed
The Indian Institute of Soil Science has developed a
web-based system for advising farmers the right quantity of fertilizers that
they should use in their soils for a particular type of crop.
The software takes into account the soil type in
different districts of the country and available nutrient in the soil. It takes
into consideration the crop and cropping season in calculating the nutrient
requirement. In some cases, it takes care of even different available varieties
of main crops. Finally, the system converts the nutrient data into the
quantities of main fertilizers i.e. urea, MOP and SSP that are required to be
used by the farmer.
This system is presently available district-wise for
these 11 states: Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Himachal
Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Orissa, Punjab, Tamil Nadu and West Bengal.
This software can be accessed at http://www.iiss.nic.in/stcr/mainform.asp
