Soil testing is a scientific approach used to determine the physical, chemical, and biological properties of soil, which directly influence plant growth and agricultural productivity. It provides essential information on soil fertility status, nutrient availability, pH, organic matter, salinity, and other factors that affect crop performance. Proper soil sampling, preparation, testing, and interpretation are fundamental for making accurate fertilizer recommendations. Modern soil testing techniques, including portable kits, spectroscopic methods, sensors, and digital tools, have made soil analysis quicker, more precise, and farmer-friendly. Applications of soil testing extend beyond agriculture to include environmental monitoring, land reclamation, precision farming, and sustainable resource management. Therefore, soil testing serves as a key decision-making tool for enhancing crop yield, reducing input costs, and maintaining long-term soil health
