Soil Testing App

Soil testing is central to the nutrient management planning for economically profitable and ecologically sustainable crop production. Indiscriminate use of fertilizers based on their blanket recommendations or without knowing the native availability of plant nutrients in soil is of little importance in modern agriculture which not only aims at improving crop productivity but also at maintaining the fertility status of soil for sustained crop production. Further, reliability of the ‘soil test based nutrient recommendations’ depends largely on precision of soil testing, which necessitates proper understanding and knowledge of soil.
