Soil Health Card

Soil Health Card Scheme Completes 5 Years

The objectives of the Soil Health Card scheme are to issue soil health cards to farmers every 2 years so as to provide a basis to address nutritional deficiencies in fertilization practices. Soil testing is developed to promote soil test based on nutrient management. Soil testing reduces cultivation cost by application of the right quantity of fertilizer. It ensures additional income to farmers by an increase in yields and it also promotes sustainable farming.
