Due to the use of chemical fertilizers, there has been a deficiency of micronutrients in cultivable land in Kannauj. If the problem is not resolved on time, the health of the soil of the farmers will deteriorate and the yield will be affected. Due to lack of micronutrients, diseases can increase in crops and the land can become barren. It is very important to get the soil tested every year. In the year 2023-24, soil testing samples were taken in eight blocks of the district. The report found a deficiency of organic carbon, phosphorus, potassium, nitrogen and sulfur. Due to lack of nutrients, the fertility capacity of the soil is decreasing. Use more cow dung manure, vermicompost, green manure in the fields. The use of organic manure maintains the microelements of the soil and increases the strength of the soil. The Agriculture Protection Officer says that organic manure is not being used, due to which diseases are increasing in the crops. According to the Soil Testing Center in-charge, the health of the soil is deteriorating due to excessive use of chemical fertilizers. To maintain the availability of micro elements, use more of cow dung manure, vermicompost, green manure etc.
