‘Soil Health Card’ Scheme has been introduced in current year to assist State Governments to issue soil health cards to all farmers in the country. It is likely to develop an application software for the States for online generation of soil health cards and fertilizer recommendations. Dissemination of soil testing results through SMSs will be enabled.
The aims and objectives of the Scheme are:
i. To issue soil health cards every 3 years, to all farmers of the country, so as to provide a basis to address nutrient deficiencies in fertilization practices.
ii. To strengthen functioning of Soil Testing Laboratories (STLs) through capacity building, involvement of agriculture students and effective linkage with Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) / State Agricultural Universities (SAUs).
iii. To diagnose soil fertility related constraints with standardized procedures for sampling uniformly across states and analysis and design taluqa / block level fertilizer recommendations in various districts.
iv. To develop and promote soil test based nutrient management in the districts for enhancing nutrient use efficiency.
v. To build capacities of district and state level staff and of progressive farmers for promotion of nutrient management practices.
The number of Soil Health Cards likely to be issued in 3 years time is as follows:
