Soil Health Data: District and Village wise Soil Health Information for Jammu and Kashmir
This dataset provides year-, district-, village-, and location-wise soil health information for the Jammu and Kashmir. It includes key soil parameters such as Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Potassium, Sulphur, Organic Carbon, pH, Electrical Conductivity, Boron, Iron, Zinc, Copper, Manganese, and catchment area.
A microwatershed (1:50K) is the smallest fundamental hydrological unit delineated on a 1:50,000 scale map, typically representing drainage areas of small streams or streamlets with a unique national code, while a prioritized microwatershed (1:50K) is that same basic unit evaluated and ranked (e.g., Very High, High, Medium, Low priority) based on factors like soil erosion and sediment yield index to phase conservation work.
Notes:
Nitrogen (kg/ha) : <280 is Low, 280 to 560 is Medium, >560 is High
Phosphorous (kg/ha) : <10 is Low, 10 to 25 is Medium, >25 is High
Potassium (kg/ha) : <120 is Low, 120 to 280 is Medium, >280 is High
Organic Carbon (percentage) : < 0.5% is Low, 0.5 to 0.75% is Medium, > 0.75% is High
Boron (ppm) : < 0.5 is Deficient, > 0.5 is Sufficient
Iron (ppm) : < 4.5 is Deficient, > 5.5 is Sufficient
