Explanation:

The scheme aims at promoting soil test based and balanced use of fertilisers to enable farmers realise higher yields at lower cost. Soil testing laboratories are now typically charging Rs 150 or so per sample for basic parameters: pH, electrical conductivity, and primary and secondary nutrient content. For micronutrients, the cost can be Rs 100 or more per parameters. It doesnot have any provision of insurance.
