Soil Testing or World Soil Health Day.

today on 05-12-2016 we are celebrating World Soil Health Day.
in this farmers are being encouraged to soil testing before the sowing of their crop.
Soil testing is very important in cultivation of the crop. The most of farmers grow their crop without soil testing. The nutrients which are necessary for the growth of plant or crop are absorbed by the plant at a particular PH value. some nutrient are absorbed below 7 PH value and some nutrient are absorbed above 7 PH value. so for proper nutrition of the crop, farmer should know the Ph value of the soil.
in soil testing what is tested
PH value of soil
Organic matter of soil
primary nutrients
secondary nutrients
and Micro nutrients
If a farmer cultivate the crop without soil testing, he is not able to understand that the crop is not growing well due to either the disease or deficiency of nutrient.
By the soil testing farmer can know easily how much amount and which fertilizer should be given to the crop. 
When soil testing is done the scientist give recommendation of 
fertilizer crop wise. 
so the farmer can use right amount of fertilizer and farmer can save the money and soil.
by the use of recommended dose of fertilizer the farmer can get optimal yield of crop at low cost.
