ICAR-IIRR CELEBRATED WORLD SOIL DAY

            World Soil Day was organised on 5^th of December, 2021 by ICAR-IIRR at Rudraram village, Shabad mandal, Ranga Reddy District of Telangana. A team of scientists from ICAR-IIRR belonging to Soil Science, Agronomy, Plant Breeding, Entomology and Pathlogy along with village sarpanch and more than 50 rice farmers were participated in the programme. Soil Scientists of ICAR-IIRR delivered talks on importance of soil day and its theme of the year (Halt soil salinization, boost soil productivity); highlighted the importance of soil health, primary and micro nutrient management, saline soil management, vermicompost preparation and straw management. Other subject scientists explained about newly released varieties with high Zn content and for pest and disease resistance; use of leaf colour chart (LCC) for urea economy; pest and disease management aspects etc. Soil samples brought by the farmers were analysed by rapid soil health testing kit and the soil health cards were generated on the spot and they were distributed to the farmers with proper guidelines on the fertiliser input management. Posters on soil sampling, saline soil management, compost preparation using straw, images of pest and diseases were displayed.
