ABSTRACT:

Manual calculation of soil test results is tedious. This computer programme can perform the same task easier and faster. It is a Fortran based programme. This soil test method consider ionic activity of an element rather than its concentration. So it will provide more accurate and significant soil test values which will help us to formulate the use of balanced fertilizer in soils.
