The soil is a vital foundation for most plant life. All crops rely on this rich foundation of nutrients and microbes to help turn sunlight into food. The Soil Health and Crops Science Research Institute (SHCSRI) envisions being the Agri-science and Technology hub in Soil and Tropical Crops Research in the Region. The SHCR Institute will bring in science-based solutions to agri-industries and communities and accelerate its adaptation to soil and crop science-based farming. The SHCR Institute is a platform to establish soil health indices that complement crop productivity and sustainability for the improvement of soil programs and management of farmers promoting resilient crops and to establish sound technologies in consonance with precision agriculture thereby developing agronomic practices for high-valued crops suitable to the growing condition of the region.
