Activities Under INM Section • INM (Integrated Nutrient Management) section, previously known as soil Testing Section, as the name suggested, INM section is involved with nutrient management. It basically deals with management of soil health, fertility and nutrient available in the soil. Soil Testing Soil testing has been conducted by this department under the supervision of this section. At present we have 3 (three) Static soil testing laboratories stationed at Neihbawi (Sihphir), Lunglei and Kolasib. We also have 3 (three) mobile soil testing van stationed at Serchhip, Saiha and Kolasib. These soil testing laboratory and van are used to determine the soil condition of the farmers so as to enable us to recommend their lime and fertilizer requirement to improve their soil health. Reclamation of Acid Soil One of the most important function of INM section is reclamation of acid soil. Since the soil of Mizoram is acidic in nature due to the heavy rainfall and its topography leading to heavy leaching, reclamation is very important. In Mizoram, slaked lime is the mostly used for reclamation and INM section is responsible for its procurement and distribution to different agriculture district. Fertilizer Director of Agriculture is the Controller of Fertilizer for the state of Mizoram. However since Fertilizer business has been privatize, the department is not directly involve in the procurement/sales of fertilizer. License (both retail and wholesale) are issued by the department. At present we have 23 wholesale dealers and 10 retail dealers. List of Fertilizer Wholesale Dealers under different district. Sl.
