I am delighted to share that Prof Jayant Kumar Singh, Department of Chemical Engineering and his team have developed a first of its kind portable soil testing device that can detect soil health in just 90 seconds through an embedded mobile application, Bhu Parikshak. 
The rapid soil testing device will assist farmers in obtaining soil health parameters of agricultural fields with a recommended dose of fertilizers. The mobile application is made available in local languages, and the device is designed keeping in mind the ease of use for farmers
The device can test up to 1 lakh soil samples, the highest testing capability among its predecessors.
For mass production and wider reach, we have transferred this technology to our incubated agritech company AgroNxt Services Pvt. Ltd.
