The Importance of Soil Testing for Precision Agriculture
Soil testing is a fundamental step in modern precision agriculture. It provides critical information about soil health, nutrient levels, and pH balance. Benefits include:
1. Targeted Fertilizer Application: Prevents overuse or underuse of fertilizers.
2. Improved Crop Productivity: Ensures optimal nutrient availability.
3. Cost Efficiency: Reduces unnecessary input costs.
Regular soil testing and analysis enable farmers to make informed decisions, leading to higher yields and sustainable farming practices.
