Soil fertility testing is a method of determining the nutrient content and overall fertility of a soil. It is a necessary activity in agriculture, gardening, and land management to assess the soil's potential to support plant development. Fertile soil has a well-balanced combination of organic matter, nutrients, water-holding capacity, and an acceptable pH level. This combination encourages plants to thrive, resulting in high agricultural yields and overall plant health. Fertile soil has numerous applications in agriculture and horticulture. For instance, it serves as the foundation for sustainable and productive agricultural techniques. Farmers can develop a broad variety of crops with good soil, providing sustenance for both humans and animals. Furthermore, healthy soil encourages biodiversity by sustaining a variety of plant species and so maintaining ecological balance.

The Global Soil Fertility Testing Market has been segmented in terms of Type, Testing Technique, End-use Industry, and region. In terms of type, the Global Soil Fertility Testing Market is split into physical testing, chemical testing, biological testing, and hybrid. Based on testing technique, the market is bifurcated into in-lab testing and on-site testing. Based on End-use Industry, the market is bifurcated into agriculture & horticulture, forestry, and environmental monitoring & research. Considering regions, the market is divided into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the global soil fertility testing market. Restrictions on transportation, labor shortages, and supply chain disruptions significantly disrupted agricultural activity across the globe during the early stages of the pandemic. Farmer access to fertilizers, organic matter, and other soil enhancement items was hampered, resulting in a drop in the demand for soil fertility testing solutions. Numerous farmers reduced their agricultural operations, due to the economic uncertainty induced by the pandemic, hurting investments in soil fertility testing management. Therefore, the market slowed, as both production and use of soil fertility testing products declining.
