Several soil quality indices reported in literature, most of them are non-operational on regional applications and confined to basic research platform. Soil biological health is generally expressed through parameters difficult to determine and highly spatio-temporal varying. Thus it is difficult to quantify soil biological health and more difficult is link it with other physical, chemical and physico-chemical parameter to jude the overall soil health.
there is a need to evolve soil biological health on the basis of easily determinable soil parameters, so that it can be handled and used by most of the researchers.
