What you get
Under the national Soil Health Card scheme as implemented in Tripura, the Department of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare collects soil samples from farmers' fields and issues a Soil Health Card every two years showing 12 key soil parameters (NPK, micronutrients, pH, organic carbon, etc.) along with crop-wise fertiliser and amendment recommendations. The state's annual plan has targeted distribution of around 40,000 Soil Health Cards in a single planning cycle, delivered through block-level soil testing labs and agriculture extension staff. The aim is to reduce indiscriminate fertiliser use, cut input costs, and improve yields by matching nutrient application to actual soil deficiency.
