A short guide with instructions on how a farmer can analyse their soil by examining the plants growing in it, without the need for laboratory testing, which is expensive and inaccessible for many smallholder farmers.
The document explains the advantages of this approach, and provides information on what various symptoms, observable in plants, might indicate about the health and fertility of soil.
