Abstract

<p style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:16px">Since the farmers of Sikkim are quite unaware about different innovative modern organic input, techniques of soil health management and innovative technologies they are bound to cultivate agricultural crops in traditional manner. Farmers of Sikkim generally don’t know how the soil health can be improved. This study was conducted during the period of 2014-16. After distributing the inputs under Tribal Sub Plan (ICAR-TSP) to tribal farmers in Sikkim it was found that application of recommended dose of all the soil inputs increased nutrient use efficiency upto 10-15%, CEC upto 30-35%, soil organic carbon 2-5% from initial value (0.81%), soil pH 25-35%, and crop productivity upto 20-30% along with increases in grain yields upto 12-15% in major crops of Sikkim. Besides all the macro and micro nutrient content also increased 10-35% after application of such soil inputs. Under this project 250 soil samples were collected from farmers’ field of different villages, geo-reference soil samples were collected, processed, analyzed and soil health card prepared and distributed to the farmers by the Hon’ble Union Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Shri Radha Mohan Singh during his visit at ICAR Sikkim Centre, Gangtok on 17th January, 2016.</span></p>
