Soil test methods
Soil testing is central to the nutrient management planning for economically profitable and ecologically sustainable
crop production. Of late, it has assumed unprecedented importance in view of the growing awareness about soil health card
in Indian agriculture. 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 testing methods for different soil parameters commonly used in preparation
of soil health card and making nutrient recommendations. In order to acquaint you (students, researchers and soil
test personnel) with the procedures of soil testing, we present here an android based mobile application
“Soil Test Methods” and hope it serves as an instant soil testing guide to you.
