Soil testing is helpful in accessing nutrient supplying power of soil, crop response to added plant nutrients and amendment needs. Assessment and monitoring is an integral activity of any sustainable agricultural development, in turn it will necessitate the increased demand for real time information on resource. Promotion of balanced fertilization is important component of environment management in agriculture. It further reinforces the need for frequent soil testing.
