Following a soil sampling methodology standardized earlier, 92904 soil samples were collected
from 30 districts of Karnataka in India. The soil samples were processed and analyzed for
pH, electrical conductivity (EC) as a measure of salts, organic carbon (as a proxy for available
nitrogen), and available phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, boron and zinc using standard methods.

Soil samples were prepared showing the category of soil sample per nutrient or soil fertility

Acknowledgments
We gratefully acknowledge the Government of Karnataka for its bold and innovative
initiative to adopt science-led approach for development in the state. This is possible largely
because of examplery leadership shown by the leaders and policy makers in the state. We
sincerely acknowledge support of Mr Sandeep Dave, Commissioner of Watershed and
currently Principal Secretary, Principal Secretary to Government, Department of Agriculture,
who initiated the soil fertility mapping in six districts of Karnataka under Sujala-ICRISAT
initiative at the pilot for scaling-up productivity enhancement measures to cover 3700
ha. Based on the results of the pilot initiative in 2009, Dr KV Raju, Economic Advisor to

Introduction

soils. However, it is a commonly held belief that at relatively low yields of crops in the

crop production systems. It is duly recognized and emphasized that the productivity of SAT
soils is low due to water shortage. Apart from water shortage, low fertility is also an issue
because low fertility constrains crop productivity in the SAT regions of India, but in practice

Moreover, the inputs of major nutrients to dryland production systems are meager. Also, due
to low productivity of the dryland, it is generally assumed that the mining of micronutrient
reserves in soils is much less than in irrigated production systems.
Our past research showed that the SAT soils of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh

states are widespread; and the productivity of these soils can be sustainably enhanced
through balanced nutrient management. Our research also demonstrated that soil testing

al. 2010). This report further uses soil testing to cover entire SAT districts of Karnataka and
management in pursuit of sustainable enhancement of agricultural productivity in rain-fed

areas of Karnataka.

To characterize the fertility status of soils, 92904 soil samples were collected from farmers

arable land in watersheds varied along with land holding size and cropping systems. Soil
sampling strategy was based on taking samples to represent the entire watershed. The soil
sampling units were decided on the basis of crop, area covered by the crop and number of

category. For soil sampling, we randomly selected 20% farmers in each position on the

sample.

The soil samples were air-dried and powdered with wooden hammer to pass through a 2-mm
sieve. For organic carbon analysis, the soil samples were ground to pass through a 0.25-mm
sieve. Prepared samples were analyzed for various fertility characteristics using methods

using soil to water ratio of 1:2 organic carbon was determined using the Walkley-Black
method. Exchangeable or available potassium was determined using the ammonium acetate
2) as an extractant;

3) test. Available
zinc was extracted by DTPA reagent and available boron was extracted by hot water.
