Soil fertility factors greatly influence success in agriculture, but most farmers still ignore this.

The impact of continuous use causes the soil to harden quickly, less able to store water, and promptly becomes acidic, which results in decreased soil fertility. Community service activity aims to increase farmers' knowledge about the application of appropriate technology in the form of a simple, effective and efficient soil fertility measuring device that can be used by farmers to measure the level of soil fertility under management, increase productivity and welfare of farmers and optimize agricultural potential in the local area that it can become one of the food centers..
