Soil health/soil quality is an important concept. Rather it is a real characteristic of soil on which we grow plants. We cultivate soils based on its physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. We always want our soils to be healthy like we keep our health in top form. So, to keep the soil healthy we have to use best management practices to cultivate the crops. As we know all the management practices that we adopt are not always healthy. Thus, some management practices make the soil sick. How to evaluate that soil is sick:? : is it not of good quality? So we have developed this software SQI CAl based on indexing methods to analyze whether soil is good or better or the best, based on its physical, chemical, and biological characteristics. As changed management practices change the soil quality, this software will help users to find the change in characteristics of soils based a single management practice in the short or long term depending upon the availability of data. This presentation will guide you to the software application in finding out the soil quality indices which can be compared with different sets of management practices to come to the conclusion that which particular set of management practices is making the soil sick or healthy. This will also help users to use principal component analysis (PCA) independently even without considering soil health/ soil quality for other data sets.
