It covers 12 parameters including N, P, K (macro-nutrients), S (secondary nutrient), Zn, Fe, Cu, Mn, B (micro-nutrients), and physical parameters like pH, EC, and OC.
The SHC provides farmers with information on soil health status every two years to ensure balanced use of fertilizers.
The scheme is implemented in collaboration with State Governments to promote 'Soil Test-Based Nutrient Management'.
Forest, Water, and Mineral health cards do not exist as flagship schemes of the Government of India under this nomenclature, making them incorrect distractors.
