MRIDAPARIKSHAK

INDIA'S ONLY SOIL TESTING MINILAB

ABOUT

ICAR-Indian Institute of Soil Science, Bhopal has developed a mini lab named Mridaparikshak' which can assess the soil health and can be used in the preparation of soil health cards. It is a digital mobile quantitative mini lab to provide soil testing service at farmers' doorsteps. It comes with balance, shaker, hot plate, and Smart Soil Pro, an instrument for determining the soil parameters and displaying of fertilizer nutrient recommendations. It determines all the important soil parameters i.e. soil pH, EC, organic carbon, available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur and micronutrients like zinc, boron and iron.

The results as obtained by Mridaparikshak' are stable, reproducible and correspond (up to 90%) to the standard laboratory procedures employed in India. It is highly compatible with soil health card. The quantity of chemicals provided are sufficient for analyzing 100 samples which can be refilled. It can be operated by young educated farmers/rural youths (11-12 Pass) with 2-3 days of training.

Mridaparikshak provides crop and soil specific (alluvial soils, red soils, and black soils) fertilizer recommendations directly to farmer's mobile through SMS. It prescribes doses of fertilizer N, P, and K based on the targeted yield equations developed by All India Coordinated Research Project (ICAR) on Soil Test Crop Response. These targeted yield equations are developed for different soils and crops and for a desired yield target. The fertilizer nutrient rates for S, Zn, B, and Fe are based on Critical Level Approach.
