How does soil health card work?

SHC is a printed report that a farmer will be handed over for each of his holdings. It will contain the status of his soil with respect to 12 parameters. The card will contain an advisory based on the soil nutrient status of a farmer’s holding. It will show recommendations on dosage of different nutrients needed. It will also advise the farmer on the fertilizers and their quantities to be applied in the farm and the soil amendments that he should undertake, so as to realize optimal yields.
