Mini Soil Testing Laboratory

A mini soil testing laboratory was installed by the Department of Soil and Water Conservation Mokokchung on 18th February at Fazl Ali College under North Ongpangkong Block. This initiative is part of the broader objective of the Department to provide quantitative soil testing kit and allow farmer’s easy access to the benefits of soil testing services thereby ensuring higher productivity. With the installation of the Digital Soil Testing Laboratory at Block levels in every district, soil testing is made convenient for the farming community even in remote areas. The Department of Geography has long felt the need of a soil laboratory to assist and encourage both students and faculty in research and project related activities. Since the mini Laboratory has the capability of testing 14 parameters of soil condition it is anticipated that it would greatly benefit the institution and even the surrounding farming community.
