The Loop · Soil testing & Soil Health Card

Test the soil first. Then guide the crop.

Every BhoomiSeva journey starts with a scientific soil test. In about 45 minutes, Bhu-Vision gives the farmer an ICAR-certified Soil Health Card that turns soil data into crop-wise guidance.

What the test reads

The numbers that decide what your crop needs.

pHHow acidic or alkaline the soil is
ECThe salt level in the soil

Why it matters

Test the soil. Understand the need. Guide the crop.

1

Know your soil

Understand the real condition of your field before you spend on inputs.

2

Reduce guesswork

Apply what the crop actually needs, in the right amount.

3

Better crop planning

Start every season with scientific guidance, not trial and error.
