Soil Fertility Vs Soil Productivity
|
Soil Fertility |
Soil Productivity |
|
Soil fertility is the status or the inherent capacity
of the soil to supply nutrients to plants in adequate amounts and in suitable
proportions |
Soil Productivity is the capacity of the soil
to produce crops with specific systems of management and is expressed in
terms of yield |
|
Soil fertility is the capacity of the soil to
produce crops of economic value and to maintain health of the soil without
deterioration |
|
|
Note: All productive soils are fertile, but
all fertile soils need not be productive due to some problems like water
logging, saline or alkaline condition, adverse climate etc. |

Weather Vs Climate
Definition of weather
- Modification of Weather, except to a limited extent, is difficult and uneconomical.
- Weather is a state or condition of atmosphere at a given place and at a given time
- Weather is daily variations or conditions of lower layers of atmosphere
- Weather pertains to smaller area like village, city, or even a district and smaller duration of time i.e, part of a day or complete day.
- Weather is expressed by numerical values of meteorological parameters.
- Example of weather are hot day, rainy day, cloudy weather, dry weather etc.,
Definition of Climate:
- Climate is generalized weather or summation of weather conditions over a given region during a comparatively longer period.
- Climate is weather condition related to larger areas like zone, state, country, part of continent or whole of continent, longer duration of time like month, season or year.
- Climate is expressed by normals and averages e.g., cold season, tropical climate etc.,

'Mausam' App launched by The Ministry of Earth Sciences on July 27, 2020
The Union Ministry of Earth Sciences on July 27, 2020 launched the mobile App 'Mausam' for India Meteorological Department which will have features like current weather, city forecast, and current temperature.
The application is available on Playstore and Appstore."This Mobile App is dedicated to the general public and designed to communicate the weather information and forecasts in a lucid manner without technical jargons," said the Union Ministry of Earth Sciences. Users can access observed weather, forecasts, radar images and be proactively warned of impending weather events.
The Mausam mobile app has the following services:
Current Weather: Current temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction for 200 cities updated 8 times a day. Information on Sunrise and sunset along with moonrise and moonset are also given.
Nowcast: Three hourly warnings of localized weather phenomena and their intensity issued for about 800 stations, and districts of India by State Meteorological Centres of IMD. In case of severe weather, its impact also is included in the warning.
City Forecast: Past 24 hours and a 7-day forecast of weather conditions around 450 cities in India.
Warnings: Alerts issued twice a day for all districts for the next five days in colour code (Red, Orange and Yellow) to warn citizens of approaching dangerous weather. The colour code Red is the most severe category urging authorities to take action, Orange code prompts authorities and public to be alert and Yellow code prompts authorities and public to keep themselves updated.
Radar products: Latest Station wise radar products updated every 10 minutes.
This app has been designed and developed jointly by ICRISAT’s Digital Agriculture & Youth (DAY) team, Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology
"Meghdoot" - Weather-based agro advisorie App Launched by The Ministries of Earth Sciences and Agriculture
The Ministries of Earth Sciences and Agriculture have launched a mobile application, called Meghdoot, that will provide location, and crop and livestock-specific weather-based agro advisories to farmers in local languages.
To begin with, the service would be available for 150 districts in different parts of the country. It will be extended to rest of the country in a phased manner over the next one year.
It will provide forecast relating to temperature, rainfall, humidity, and wind speed and direction, which play critical roles in agricultural operations and advisories to the farmers on how to take care of their crops and livestock.
The information would be updated twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.
The app would provide information in the form of images, maps and pictures to help the farmer to have a clearer picture of what is in store. It has been integrated with WhatsApp and Facebook as well to help farmers share advisories among themselves. It will also be integrated with YouTube in future.
It has been developed by experts from the India Meteorological Department and Indian Institute of Tropical meteorology and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research.
The app can be downloaded from Google Play Store and App Store.
