The SWPTL with state of art facilities for analyzing all major nutrients, pH and EC was established in 2006 at the KVK. A paid service with a token amount of Rs.30/soil sample and Rs.10/ water sample has been largely utilized by the farmers (Table 6). Eight hundred and twenty two farmers utilized this facility and this could reduce the use of chemical fertilizers by about 20-25% and thus reducing the cost of cultivation.
