@csjuganda I have liked Prof. Basils submission. Every farmer should access the testing kits. At Holland Greentech, we have a testing kit that can give you results in 5 minutes. We can talk more on 0787101367
@csjuganda I think also the lengthy procedure on the existing technology of soil testing has limited the uptake of soil testing among small holder farmers
@csjuganda There are mobile kits available, as well as precision agriculture tools like Virtual Agronomist to help smallholders, I think they charge just 5k per test with fertiliser recommendations.
"Soil testing provides critical information to improve crop yields. Many smallholder farmers blindly apply fertiliser in the soil without knowing what a plant wants at that particular time." Juliet #CSJSoilReport #SoilFertility

Precision agriculture. When farmers have mobile phones, look at apps that can look at a farmers field and determine the problems on particular areas of the farm - precise application of a nutrient that is lacking. Basil

'We need to invest in mobile soil testing kits for farmers. These kits can be used by extension workers, offering farmers accessibility to the service' - Prof. Basil Mugonola #SoilFertility #CSJSoilReport

'Farmers need to start looking at soil as capital, if not well utilised, it will eventually depreciate' - Prof. basil Mugonola explains the importance of soil testing #SoilFertility #CSJSoilReport
Farmers need to appreciate that soil is living. Once its dead, it can no longer function and give us what we need from it. Continuous use without replenishing will degrade your soil. Invest back in the soil for continued use. Prof Basil #SoilFertility #CSJSoilReport
Prof Basil Mugonola - When people don't have full information, they act on whatever is available. Smallholder farmers do not have adequate information on the functioning of soil. So when they hear about inorganic fertilisers, they form all kinds of perceptions....#SoilFertility

We shall be going LIVE on X spaces at 5:00pm to discuss the #CSJSoilReport with experts. Share your thoughts on how soil testing can be made affordable to smallholder farmers. ↓ #SoilFertility https://t.co/9KjsxyW4t0
#CSJSoilReport: The study found that 81% of respondents consider soil testing services to be unaffordable. Several farmers proposed the need for a subsidy to offset the cost of soil testing. Do you agree with this approach? Access the full report: https://t.co/fBgySLpdZX
Bundling soil testing with fast-moving crop inputs and ready offtake opportunities can encourage farmers’ investment in soil testing. Demonstrating value to financial institutions is key to designing products that promote this model for SHFs #CSJSoilReport https://t.co/fBgySLpdZX
#CSJSoilReport: As a farmer, what would be the most affordable price to conduct soil testing? 🤔 ↓
From the #CSJSoilReport, business models that integrate artificial intelligence (AI) give instant results hence reducing costs and increasing efficiency. Integrating AI in soil testing reduce logistical costs and give farmers quicker and accurate results to make timely decisions.
