Abstract
Soil fertility is one of the important factors controlling yield of the crops. Macronutrients (N, P, K and S) are important soil elements which control its fertility. Soil characterization in relation to evaluation of fertility status of the soils of an area or region is an important aspect in context of sustainable agriculture production. A high SOM (Soil Organic Matter) content provides nutrients to plants and improves water availability, both of which enhances soil fertility and ultimately improve food productivity. Since 2017 ARF with support of NABARD has been conducting trials on 300 acres of agriculture land of villages of district Sonipat, Haryana using hydroponically grown Paddy nursery. A study was carried out on randomly selected 50 acres of land to see the effect of SOC (Soil Organic Carbon) and N (Nitrogen) content on the yield in hydroponically grown paddy.
