- Low farmer awareness continues to affect soil health and crop productivity across this crucial agricultural belt.
- Both the Union government’s Soil Health Card (SHC) programme and Tamil Nadu’s Tamil Mann Valam portal promotes testing.
- But, just 7,900 cards were only generated in Nagapattinam and only 7,350 in Mayiladuthurai for 2024-25.
- The last State-wide mass soil sampling was conducted in 2018–19.
- While the Tamil Mann Valam portal includes soil data for each village, most of it is not precise.
- Mayiladuthurai district has no lab of its own and must rely on Nagapattinam.
