Soil Health Card Mobile Apps
Installation & Usage Guide
Registering Soil Samples on the Go
Soil Health Card mobile apps are being used for registration of soil samples collected at farm fields and entry
of test results. This information is then sent to the national Soil Health Card Portal
(http://soilhealth.dac.gov.in). Sample Registration requires entry of details about Farmer, his Land holdings,
crops for which recommendations are sought and fertilizers available to improve the health of the soil.
Mobile application captures the longitude and latitude of the place automatically where samples are
collected thus ensuring authenticity of the sample collection and correctness of the information. The app has
been further updated for fetching the data entered in the first cycle during sample registration for second
cycle making the data entry for second cycle easier.
Test Result entry mobile app is used by Soil Testing Lab Officials at the soil testing laboratories to enter the
test results for 12 parameters of the registered soil samples.
Mobile application does not require net connectivity during sample details entry from the fields or test
results entry. Data is stored and pushed on server whenever net connectivity is established.
