    This document is a soil health card used by the Department of Agriculture in the Philippines. It contains fields to record personal and parcel identifiers for a landholder. It also includes spaces to record soil health parameters like pH, nutrients, texture and microbial activity at different crop stages. The card recommends organic and inorganic fertilizers tailored to specific crops. It provides interpretations of soil fertility and biological indicators like earthworm population density. The long-term recommendations section suggests changes in crops or cropping patterns and nutrient needs.

    V. BIOLOGICAL INDICATORS INTERPRETATION


    SOIL MICROBIAL RESPIRATION
    Soil respiration Class Soil condition
    0 No soil activity Soil has no biological activity and is virtually sterile.
    < 9.5 Very low soil activity Soil is very depleted of available organic matter and has little biological activity.
    9.5 – 16 Moderately low soil activity Soil is somewhat depleted of available organic matter and biological activity is low.
    16 – 32 Medium soil activity Soil is approaching or declining from an ideal state of biological activity.
    32 – 64 Ideal soil activity Soil is in an ideal state of biological activity and has adequate organic matter and
    active populations of microorganism.
    > 64 Unusually high soil activity Soil has a very high level of microbial activity and has high levels of available organic
    matter, possibly from the addition of large quantities of fresh organic matter or manure.
    ROOT LENGTH AND MASS
    Indicator Poor Medium Good
    Plant Roots (Average/Plant) Poor growth/structure, brown or Some fine roots, mostly healthy Vigorous and health root system,
    mushy roots good color
    Root mass (Average/Plant) Very few roots, mostly horizontal More roots, some vertical, some Many vertical and horizontal roots,
    horizontal deep roots
    EARTHWORM POPULATION DENSITY
    Earthworms (average no./m2) 0-1 worms. No casts or holes. 2-10 worms. Few casts and holes. More than 10 earthworms. Lots of
    casts and holes.
