&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Farmers being imparted information on the nature of soil in addition to the kind of fertilizers to be used&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Sangareddy (Andhra Pradesh): &lt;/em&gt;Manaiah, a farmer from Sadashivpet in Medak district, has decided to cultivate cotton in the current kharif season and has already submitted his soil sample at the testing laboratory located at the district headquarters.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Welcome advice&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Early this month, Mr Manaiah received a short messaging service (SMS) on his mobile no 73823 65726 about the condition of his soil which stated that his heavy black soil had pH 7.6 and EC 10.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He was asked to use four tonnes of green manure per acre, in addition to urea and other required fertilizers.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Less human intervention&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This is being done automatically with less human intervention, except entering data.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This was part of the exercise being held by the Agriculture Department to use technology to extend better services to farmers. Each farmer is issued an identity number, which also carries the phone number of the farmer when they approach soil testing lab (STL) to get their soil tested.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Once the soil testing result was generated it was automatically uploaded in the website http://agrisnet.tg.nic.in.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This was being done by the Agriculture Commissionerate in Hyderabad.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Website&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Farmers who can visit the website can get the details by entering 16 digit testing model number which is being supplied by the Soil Testing Lab (STL) at the district headquarter.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
However, as many farmers are not tech savvy, it was decided to send the message in Telugu to their mobiles.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Actually, suggestions on nutrients through mobiles commenced last year on an experimental basis by the department and a pilot project was successfully completed in Medak and Ranga Reddy district by selecting 100 farmers from each district.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&amp;lsquo;By and large successful&#039;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;During the months of April, May and till June 10 we have tested about 4,000 samples and the results were sent to farmers. For about 1,200 farmers we sent the results through SMSes. Some of the farmers are able to read and contact us, while some others faced a problem as there was no Telugu software available in the phones they were using to read the message. However, by and large the experiment was successful,&amp;quot; said M. Karunkar Reddy, Assistant Director, STL.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Each farmer is being generated with an ID number, which also carries a phone number of the farmer when they approach soil testing lab (STL).

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Farmers being imparted information on the nature of soil in addition to the kind of fertilizers to be used&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Sangareddy (Andhra Pradesh): &lt;/em&gt;Manaiah, a farmer from Sadashivpet in Medak district, has decided to cultivate cotton in the current kharif season and has already submitted his soil sample at the testing laboratory located at the district headquarters.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Welcome advice&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Early this month, Mr Manaiah received a short messaging service (SMS) on his mobile no 73823 65726 about the condition of his soil which stated that his heavy black soil had pH 7.6 and EC 10.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He was asked to use four tonnes of green manure per acre, in addition to urea and other required fertilizers.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Less human intervention&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This is being done automatically with less human intervention, except entering data.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This was part of the exercise being held by the Agriculture Department to use technology to extend better services to farmers. Each farmer is issued an identity number, which also carries the phone number of the farmer when they approach soil testing lab (STL) to get their soil tested.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Once the soil testing result was generated it was automatically uploaded in the website http://agrisnet.tg.nic.in.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This was being done by the Agriculture Commissionerate in Hyderabad.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Website&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Farmers who can visit the website can get the details by entering 16 digit testing model number which is being supplied by the Soil Testing Lab (STL) at the district headquarter.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
However, as many farmers are not tech savvy, it was decided to send the message in Telugu to their mobiles.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Actually, suggestions on nutrients through mobiles commenced last year on an experimental basis by the department and a pilot project was successfully completed in Medak and Ranga Reddy district by selecting 100 farmers from each district.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&amp;lsquo;By and large successful&#039;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;During the months of April, May and till June 10 we have tested about 4,000 samples and the results were sent to farmers. For about 1,200 farmers we sent the results through SMSes. Some of the farmers are able to read and contact us, while some others faced a problem as there was no Telugu software available in the phones they were using to read the message. However, by and large the experiment was successful,&amp;quot; said M. Karunkar Reddy, Assistant Director, STL.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Each farmer is being generated with an ID number, which also carries a phone number of the farmer when they approach soil testing lab (STL).

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Farmers being imparted information on the nature of soil in addition to the kind of fertilizers to be used&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Sangareddy (Andhra Pradesh): &lt;/em&gt;Manaiah, a farmer from Sadashivpet in Medak district, has decided to cultivate cotton in the current kharif season and has already submitted his soil sample at the testing laboratory located at the district headquarters.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Welcome advice&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Early this month, Mr Manaiah received a short messaging service (SMS) on his mobile no 73823 65726 about the condition of his soil which stated that his heavy black soil had pH 7.6 and EC 10.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He was asked to use four tonnes of green manure per acre, in addition to urea and other required fertilizers.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Less human intervention&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This is being done automatically with less human intervention, except entering data.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This was part of the exercise being held by the Agriculture Department to use technology to extend better services to farmers. Each farmer is issued an identity number, which also carries the phone number of the farmer when they approach soil testing lab (STL) to get their soil tested.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Once the soil testing result was generated it was automatically uploaded in the website http://agrisnet.tg.nic.in.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This was being done by the Agriculture Commissionerate in Hyderabad.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Website&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Farmers who can visit the website can get the details by entering 16 digit testing model number which is being supplied by the Soil Testing Lab (STL) at the district headquarter.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
However, as many farmers are not tech savvy, it was decided to send the message in Telugu to their mobiles.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Actually, suggestions on nutrients through mobiles commenced last year on an experimental basis by the department and a pilot project was successfully completed in Medak and Ranga Reddy district by selecting 100 farmers from each district.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&amp;lsquo;By and large successful&#039;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;During the months of April, May and till June 10 we have tested about 4,000 samples and the results were sent to farmers. For about 1,200 farmers we sent the results through SMSes. Some of the farmers are able to read and contact us, while some others faced a problem as there was no Telugu software available in the phones they were using to read the message. However, by and large the experiment was successful,&amp;quot; said M. Karunkar Reddy, Assistant Director, STL.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Each farmer is being generated with an ID number, which also carries a phone number of the farmer when they approach soil testing lab (STL).
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Farmers being imparted information on the nature of soil in addition to the kind of fertilizers to be used&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Sangareddy (Andhra Pradesh): &lt;/em&gt;Manaiah, a farmer from Sadashivpet in Medak district, has decided to cultivate cotton in the current kharif season and has already submitted his soil sample at the testing laboratory located at the district headquarters.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Welcome advice&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Early this month, Mr Manaiah received a short messaging service (SMS) on his mobile no 73823 65726 about the condition of his soil which stated that his heavy black soil had pH 7.6 and EC 10.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
He was asked to use four tonnes of green manure per acre, in addition to urea and other required fertilizers.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Less human intervention&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This is being done automatically with less human intervention, except entering data.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This was part of the exercise being held by the Agriculture Department to use technology to extend better services to farmers. Each farmer is issued an identity number, which also carries the phone number of the farmer when they approach soil testing lab (STL) to get their soil tested.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Once the soil testing result was generated it was automatically uploaded in the website http://agrisnet.tg.nic.in.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
This was being done by the Agriculture Commissionerate in Hyderabad.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Website&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Farmers who can visit the website can get the details by entering 16 digit testing model number which is being supplied by the Soil Testing Lab (STL) at the district headquarter.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
However, as many farmers are not tech savvy, it was decided to send the message in Telugu to their mobiles.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Actually, suggestions on nutrients through mobiles commenced last year on an experimental basis by the department and a pilot project was successfully completed in Medak and Ranga Reddy district by selecting 100 farmers from each district.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&amp;lsquo;By and large successful&#039;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;During the months of April, May and till June 10 we have tested about 4,000 samples and the results were sent to farmers. For about 1,200 farmers we sent the results through SMSes. Some of the farmers are able to read and contact us, while some others faced a problem as there was no Telugu software available in the phones they were using to read the message. However, by and large the experiment was successful,&amp;quot; said M. Karunkar Reddy, Assistant Director, STL.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Each farmer is being generated with an ID number, which also carries a phone number of the farmer when they approach soil testing lab (STL).

SMSes come to the aid of farmers -R Avadhani

-The Hindu   Farmers being imparted information on the nature of soil in addition to the kind of fertilizers to be used Sangareddy (Andhra Pradesh): Manaiah, a farmer from Sadashivpet in Medak district, has decided to cultivate cotton in the current kharif season and has already submitted his soil sample at the testing laboratory located at the district headquarters. Welcome advice Early this month, Mr Manaiah received a short messaging service (SMS) on his mobile no 73823 65726 about the condition of his soil which stated that his heavy black soil had pH 7.6 and EC 10. He was asked to use four tonnes of green manure per acre, in addition to urea and other required fertilizers. Less human intervention This is being done automatically with less human intervention, except entering data. This was part of the exercise being held by the Agriculture Department to use technology to extend better services to farmers. Each farmer is issued an identity number, which also carries the phone number of the farmer when they approach soil testing lab (STL) to get their soil tested. Once the soil testing result was generated it was automatically uploaded in the website http://agrisnet.tg.nic.in. This was being done by the Agriculture Commissionerate in Hyderabad. Website Farmers who can visit the website can get the details by entering 16 digit testing model number which is being supplied by the Soil Testing Lab (STL) at the district headquarter. However, as many farmers are not tech savvy, it was decided to send the message in Telugu to their mobiles. Actually, suggestions on nutrients through mobiles commenced last year on an experimental basis by the department and a pilot project was successfully completed in Medak and Ranga Reddy district by selecting 100 farmers from each district. ‘By and large successful' "During the months of April, May and till June 10 we have tested about 4,000 samples and the results were sent to farmers. For about 1,200 farmers we sent the results through SMSes. Some of the farmers are able to read and contact us, while some others faced a problem as there was no Telugu software available in the phones they were using to read the message. However, by and large the experiment was successful," said M. Karunkar Reddy, Assistant Director, STL.   Each farmer is being generated with an ID number, which also carries a phone number of the farmer when they approach soil testing lab (STL).
