Mridaparikshak is a mini-laboratory, capable of estimating 12 essential parameters as

per Government Soil Health Card Scheme (SHC). It is expected to provide a fillip to SHC

as the mini-lab is low cost, portable and gives quantitative & reproducible results of soil

health parameters. The soil test based fertilizer nutrient recommendations for major

and micronutrients make the mini-lab a practicable technology in the management of

soil health. The stall is displayed under the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare

near Gate No. 2.
