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. 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.
