The current farming scenario in India presents a
significant challenge for farmers
who struggle to maintain their overall revenue due to diminishing yields from their
farmland. Despite diligent application of fertilizers, expected results often remain
unachieved, primarily due to a lack of precise knowledge about the soil's fertility
requirements. Consequently, farmers inadvertently over-pollute their farmland with
excessive fertilizers, adversely affecting crop yields year after year.
Compounding this issue is the inconvenience of
traditional soil testing methods,
which require farmers to transport soil samples to distant testing centers,
resulting in time delays of up to two weeks before receiving results. This
logistical hurdle further hampers the farming process, elongating the wait time for
crucial information needed to optimize fertilizer usage.
Challenges faced by farmers
- Accessibility to soil testing labs
- Delay in getting soil test reports
- Inconsistency in reports
- Require Technical Knowledge to comprehend soil report
