Abstract: Soil test based nutrient management has emerged as a key issue in efforts to increase agricultural productivity and production. Deficiencies of primary, secondary and micronutrients have been observed in intensive cultivated areas because of which the soil health has been deteriorated. Many efforts have been made by the centrals and state government to know the health status of soils of farmers by introducing Soil Health Card scheme, but how far farmers had perceived the Soil Health Card and how efficiently use the information given in the Soil Health Cards. Considering the above stated information, now it is necessary to know the feasibility of Soil Health Card in terms of perceived attributes. The study reveals that more than half (66.67%) of the respondents belonged to medium category followed by high (17.50%) and low category (15.83%) respectively regarding over all feasibility of soil health cards.
