Unhealthy soil
management methods
Improper irrigation
practices
 Improper tillage
 Non-maintenance of a proper supply of
organic matter in the soil
 Irregular maintenance of a proper nutrient
supply of trace elements
 Improper maintenance of the correct soil
acidity
 Heavy metal pollution
 Cr, Pb,Cd,Cs, As
 Chemical pesticides,fungicides,weedicides
 Excessive lime application
 Poorly drained soil result in salt deposits
leading to high soil salinity
 Unirrigated land giving rise to stagnation of
agriculture waste products
 Irregular irrigation leads to decreasing
moisturization of land
 May alter plant metabolism and reduce crop
yields
 Trees and plants may absorb soil
contaminants and pass them up the food
chain
1. Use of pesticides should be minimized.
2. Use of fertilizers should be judicious.
3. Cropping techniques should be improved to
prevent growth of weeds.
4. Special pits should be selected for dumping
wastes.
5. Controlled grazing and forest management.
6. Wind breaks and wind shield in areas exposed to
wind erosion
7. Planning of soil binding grasses along banks and
slopes prone to rapid erosion.
8. Afforestation and reforestation.

surroundings, sustain plant and animal productivity,
maintain or enhance soil, water and air quality and
support human health and habitation

 The Microlevel Information System on Soils
of Kerala(MISSK) is a web based project
developed in GIS Platform by the
Department of Soil Survey & Soil
Conservation under the technical guidance
of the ESRI India .
Detailed Soil Survey conducted at panchayat
level using cadastral maps of scale
1:5000/4000 as base map.
 Generation of soil information system
 Generation of soil and other thematic maps in
GIS platform
 enable the users to access all information on
soils on survey number basis through
internet
 To help the farmers to manage their land
 Enabling the planners, administrators and
researchers to formulate micro level plans
The Department of Soil Survey & Soil Conservation provides Soil
Health Management Support Service to farmers by providing
Soil Health Cards to individual farmers on per plot basis.
Soil Health Cards evaluate the health or quality of a soil as a
function of its various physico-chemical characteristics like
available macro and micro nutrients, water holding capacity,
CEC, soil texture, content of exchangeable bases,
exchangeable acidity, soil pH, EC and organic carbon content.
 The soil health card evaluates the health or
quality of a soil as a function of its
characteristics, water, plant and other
biological properties. The card is a tool to
help the farmer to monitor and improve soil
health based on their own field experience
and working knowledge of their soils.
 Soil Series

 Soil Depth
 Erosion status

 Present land use
 Paddy land conversion status
 Soil pH,
 Status of major nutrients
nitrogen,phosphorus,potassium
 >>secondary nutrients- calcium, magnesium,
sulphur
 >>micronutrients- iron copper,zinc, manganese,
boron
 Land capability class
 Land irrigability class
 Soil conservation priority
 Samples are collected on per plot basis
 Collection of information on land
characteristics
 The results of the soil analysis is
communicated to the farmers in the form of
soil health cards.

Soil science
It is a multi institutional project initiated by the Department of Agriculture, Govt. of Kerala. The
soil nutrient management information system has been conceptualized, designed, developed and
implemented by Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management- Kerala (IIITM-K) for
the Government of Kerala.

  • 2. Deposition of solid waste Accumulation of non- biodegradable materials Toxification of chemicals into poisons
  • 4.  Improper tillage  Non-maintenance of a proper supply of organic matter in the soil  Irregular maintenance of a proper nutrient supply of trace elements  Improper maintenance of the correct soil acidity
  • 5.  Heavy metal pollution  Cr, Pb,Cd,Cs, As  Chemical pesticides,fungicides,weedicides  Excessive lime application
  • 6.  Poorly drained soil result in salt deposits leading to high soil salinity  Unirrigated land giving rise to stagnation of agriculture waste products  Irregular irrigation leads to decreasing moisturization of land
  • 7.  May alter plant metabolism and reduce crop yields  Trees and plants may absorb soil contaminants and pass them up the food chain
  • 8. 1. Use of pesticides should be minimized. 2. Use of fertilizers should be judicious. 3. Cropping techniques should be improved to prevent growth of weeds. 4. Special pits should be selected for dumping wastes. 5. Controlled grazing and forest management. 6. Wind breaks and wind shield in areas exposed to wind erosion 7. Planning of soil binding grasses along banks and slopes prone to rapid erosion. 8. Afforestation and reforestation.

  • 14.  The Microlevel Information System on Soils of Kerala(MISSK) is a web based project developed in GIS Platform by the Department of Soil Survey & Soil Conservation under the technical guidance of the ESRI India . Detailed Soil Survey conducted at panchayat level using cadastral maps of scale 1:5000/4000 as base map.
  • 15.  Generation of soil information system  Generation of soil and other thematic maps in GIS platform  enable the users to access all information on soils on survey number basis through internet  To help the farmers to manage their land  Enabling the planners, administrators and researchers to formulate micro level plans
  • 16. The Department of Soil Survey & Soil Conservation provides Soil Health Management Support Service to farmers by providing Soil Health Cards to individual farmers on per plot basis. Soil Health Cards evaluate the health or quality of a soil as a function of its various physico-chemical characteristics like available macro and micro nutrients, water holding capacity, CEC, soil texture, content of exchangeable bases, exchangeable acidity, soil pH, EC and organic carbon content.
  • 17.  The soil health card evaluates the health or quality of a soil as a function of its characteristics, water, plant and other biological properties. The card is a tool to help the farmer to monitor and improve soil health based on their own field experience and working knowledge of their soils.
  • 18.  Soil Series  Soil texture  Soil Depth  Erosion status  Slope  Present land use  Paddy land conversion status  Soil pH,  Status of major nutrients nitrogen,phosphorus,potassium  >>secondary nutrients- calcium, magnesium, sulphur  >>micronutrients- iron copper,zinc, manganese, boron  Land capability class  Land irrigability class  Soil conservation priority
  • 19.  Samples are collected on per plot basis  Collection of information on land characteristics  The results of the soil analysis is communicated to the farmers in the form of soil health cards.
