Rooted in Science: Patanjali Donates Automated Soil Testing Machine ‘Doctor Ka Doctor’ to ICAR

In a huge boost to Indian agriculture, Patanjali has gifted its sophisticated automated soil testing machine, 'Doctor Ka Doctor,' to the Central Soil Salinity Research Institute under the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR). The machine, created by years of research by Patanjali scientists under the leadership of Acharya Balkrishna, tests 12 critical soil parameters-including nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, boron, iron, zinc, copper, and manganese-giving precise, fast, and low-cost soil analysis.

 

ICAR certified and patented by the Government of India, 'Doctor Ka Doctor' gives custom fertilizer recommendations for chemical, organic, or integrated farming, which helps farmers get maximum crop yields and save costs. The simplicity of operating the machine and mobile app compatibility also make it very convenient to use even for those who do not possess high-tech technical expertise. ICAR officials appreciated the donation as a meaningful contribution to encouraging sustainable farming practices and soil fertility in the nation.
