The document outlines a soil science intervention report for a farmer in Bhojadeipur, addressing soil characteristics, crop rotation, and nutrient deficiencies in various crops. It highlights critical issues such as nitrogen deficiency in rice and boron deficiency in bittergourd, along with recommendations for fertilization and pest management. Soil testing and health card usage were not performed, and the report includes potential reclamation methods and foliar application suggestions.

9. NITROGEN DEFICIENCY IN RICE
We can recommend
instead using 25% urea
as basal should apply
50% dose
Yellowing of leaves in rice

10. BORON DEFICIENCY IN BITTERGOURD
Fig. Crinkle brittle leaf &
small fruits in bittergourd.
RECOMMENDATION-
Spray water soluble foliar
micronutrients .
Borax, Solubor
As per report of STL Dhenkanal
soils- 90% deficient in Boron

11. Eye spot disease of sugarcane
Spray Foliar application-
0.2% COC or 0.3%
mancozeb at 10-15 days gap
.
