Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Nearly all sampled farmers’ fields had low organic carbon and low to moderate available phosphorus, while extractable potassium was generally adequate.
- Observation Sulfur, boron and zinc deficiencies were widespread and varied by nutrient, district and state.
- Intervention effect Sulfur, boron and zinc applications significantly increased maize yield relative to farmer input.
- Intervention effect Sulfur, boron and zinc applications significantly increased castor yield relative to farmer input.
- Intervention effect Sulfur, boron and zinc applications significantly increased groundnut yield relative to farmer input.
- Intervention effect Sulfur, boron and zinc applications significantly increased mung bean yield relative to farmer input.
- Recommendation The authors conclude soil testing can diagnose nutrient deficiencies.
