HURL Opens Nine Soil Testing Facilities for Farmers
HURL promotes balanced fertilisation through soil testing · freepressjournal.in

Hindustan Urvarak & Rasayan Limited has opened nine places where farmers can get their soil tested.

These facilities are in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.

A soil test helps show which nutrients are in the soil and whether any are missing or present in excess.

Farmers can use this information to choose how much fertiliser to apply.

The first facility mentioned in the announcement is at Dandwapar in Gorakhpur.

HURL Managing Director Dr. Siba Prasad Mohanty inaugurated it.

Chillupar MLA Rajesh Tripathi and other guests attended.

HURL says the programme can support healthier soil and more sustainable farming.
