Precautions to be taken while taking samples for soil testing

  • Do not take samples from under trees, from bunds, low places, where there is a heap of manure, where waterlogged etc.

  • For soil testing, samples should be taken in such a way that the area represents the entire field, for this, at least 500 gm of the sample must be taken.

  • Select 8-10 locations for sampling, depending on the area of the field, by removing organic matter such as twigs, dry leaves, stalks and grasses from the top surface of the soil.

  • The soil sample should be taken at the same depth as the root depth of the crop to be planted at the selected locations.

  • Soil samples should be collected in a clean bucket or tank. Be sure to label this soil sample.

  • If the sampling area is large, the number of samples should be increased accordingly.

Now electricity will be available for irrigation even during the day

Due to the problem with electricity during the day, the farmer brothers have to irrigate at night. Taking a solution to this problem of the farmers, the Rajasthan government has implemented a scheme. Under this, electricity will be supplied during the day for irrigation in every district of the state.

According to the plan, 16 districts of the state have been selected for power supply in the first phase. Out of these, electricity is being supplied to the consumers of 14 districts in two blocks during the daytime. Taking this plan forward, 5 districts will be selected in the second phase. In this way, in every phase going forward, electing the districts, electricity will be supplied during the day, so that every needy farmer can get rid of this problem.

Under the Kisan Mitra Energy Scheme, a rebate of one thousand rupees is already being given every month on the agricultural bills in the state. So far 6 lakh farmers have been benefited under this scheme.
