SOIL ORGANIC CARBON DETECTION KIT*

Soil organic carbon can help farmer in the following ways:
It increases growth soil microorganisms, which help in effectively maintaining elemental
biogeochemical cycles, and makes these nutrients available to the plants in smooth
manner.
It is an excellent soil conditioner and provides a good infrastructure for soil
microorganisms.
The porosity of soil increases due to addition of organic carbon, thereby increasing
aeration and avoiding water stagnation and overall improving soil health.
Soil organic carbon helps to stabilize soil particles, thus decreasing erosion.
It also improves soil structure and workability, enhances aeration and water penetration,
increases water - holding capacity and improves nutrients supply for growth of both
plants and soil micro-organisms.
Soil organic carbon detection kit has following advantages:
It is user friendly as any farmer himself can perform this on the field.
It gives quick and reliable (comparative to standard methods) results.
Evaluates the impact of organic carbon amends & supplemented periodically.
It gives idea of amount of organic manure additions necessary for better yield.
Highly economical as compared with other standard method.

Application:
This kit would be useful to great extent in agricultural sector.
Direct use by the farmer for organic carbon detection of soil before sowing of the crop
and at the harvest of the crop.
To take corrective measures to maintain the soil organic carbon at optimum levels and
evaluating the effectiveness of the organic manure supplements periodically.
TESTING PROCEDURE:
With the help of spoon transfer 1 gm of soil sample to the bottle. Add 10 ml of solution A to it with
the help of measuring cup. Shake well & add 10 ml of solution B with the help of measuring cup
.Close the bottle & shake well. Keep a side for 15 minutes. With the help of funnel & filter paper
filter the solution in to a clean test tube. Compare the colour of the filtrate with the supplied colour
chart & determine the organic carbon in the soil.
RECOMMENDATION TO FARMERS AFTER SOIL TESTING
Sr. Results: Action to be taken
No % Organic Carbon
1 If low Apply 4 tons biogas manure or 7-8 tons of farmyard
(≤0.5%) manure / hector before ploughing. Wait for 15 days
for further sampling.
If organic carbon is less than 1%, apply 2 tons
biogas manure or 4-5 tons of farmyards manure /
hector before ploughing.

2 If Medium (≤0.5% -1.0%) Apply 2 tons biogas manure or 4-5 tons of farmyard
manure / hector before ploughing.
If organic carbon is less than 1%, apply 2 tons
biogas manure or 4-5 tons of farmyards manure /
hector before ploughing.

3 If Sufficient (≥1.0%) Healthy in indication for sowing in the corps in the
field
