Ms. Deepanjali Gupta is a PhD student in G. B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Uttarakhand. She says, “Soil testing is essential in agriculture as it analyzes the composition and characteristics of soil, providing valuable information about nutrient levels, pH balance, and overall soil health. This information helps farmers make informed decisions regarding fertilization, pH adjustment, and soil management practices. By optimizing nutrient inputs, improving soil health, and practicing environmental stewardship, farmers can enhance crop productivity, reduce costs, and ensure sustainable agriculture.”
