Now with the using of chemical fertilizer more than recommended dose by farmers, soil health got deteriorated, productivity of the crops stagnated, Income of the farmers decreasing, He said. For sustainable agriculture and profitable farming ,farmers must take care of the soil and monitor its health status by getting it tested periodically .To reduce the cost of production, organic and chemical fertilizers should be applied in right amount, at right time and with right method, he said. The use fertilizer in crops without soil testing is like taking medicine without Human health expert\u2019s advice. Dr. Amrik Singh Soil Testing officer said that Soil testing helps the farmers to use the right amount and type of fertilizer at proper stages so as to get maximum returns from the money invested in fertilizer. Imbalanced and excessive use of chemical fertilizer is not only harmful to environment but also it increases the cost of production, He said. The accuracy of the soil testing results depends on the representatives of the soil samples so soil sample must be collected properly so as to get correct soil tested report, he said. Target of 6022 soil sample has been fixed for collection and analysis of major and micronutrient during 2018-19 in district Pathankot, He said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Accuracy of the soil testing results depends on the properly taken soil samples Pathankot, 13 May (Punjab Post Bureau) &#8211;&nbsp;
