Introduction Soil is one of the elements required for farming as it provides nutrients to the plants. Healthy soil containing all the elements for growth and development of crop and on the other hand soil deprived of one or more elements either reduces production or degrades quality of crops. Proportion and quantity of macro and micro nutrients refers to the soil health. As far as agriculture production is concerned, soil health plays a vital role in ensuring sustainable production with optimizing the utilization of fertilizers and reducing its wastage. Soil Health Card (SHC) is a scheme launched by the Government of India in February 2015 in Gujarat. The SHC is a simple document, which contains useful data on soil based on chemical analysis of the soil to describe soil health in terms of its nutrient availability and its physical and chemical properties. status of farmers. Madhya Pradesh is known as the Soybean bowl of India, because major chunk of Soybean production is contributed by Madhya Pradesh State alone. Nutrients are essential for plants' growth and development. When soil nutrients are missing or in short supply, plants suffer from nutrient deficiency and stop growing. Then, application of fertilizers to soils as per requirement is very important to provide balanced nutrients to the plants grown on it. Considering the growing importance of soil testing

    Agriculture production depends on availability and use of quality and quantity of farm inputs. Thechemical fertilizer is supposed to be an essential input for boosting up agricultural production. It had played asignificant role in increasing agriculture production in the country. However, the continuous use of chemicalfertilizers had deteriorated soil fertility, destroyed soil microbial activity and disturbed environmental balance andecological soundness. Soil is biologically active and home to a wide range of living organisms, including soilmicrobes, earthworms and growing plant roots. Recommended dose of bio-fertilizers are believed in the potentialalternative to chemical fertilizer in improvement of soil fertility for sustainable crop production. e.g. Rhizobium +Phosphotika at 200 gm each per 10 kg of seed as seed treatment are recommended for pulses such as pigeonpea,green gram, black gram, cowpea etc, groundnut and soybean. Azotobacter + Phosphotika at 200 gm eachper 10 kg of seed as seed treatment are useful for the crops. For this study 120 respondents were taken as sample ofbio-fertilizer users from the Ujjain district of M.P. to collect the data. This index consisted of sixteencomponents of use of bio-fertilizers in soybean production technologies disseminated to the respondentsthrough various KVK program. Hence, researcher is interested to see the impact of bio-fertilizer in soybean cropin Ujjain district with 120 respondents were the sample of bio-fertilizer users in the study. The major finding wasobtained Out of total 60 beneficiary respondents 60.00 per cent of respondents had medium production of soybeanuse of bio-fertilizers, 25.00 per cent high production group whereas only 15.00 per cent beneficiary low productionof soybean in use of bio-fertilizers while out of 60 non beneficiary farmers, higher percentage of the respondentsi.e., 51.67 per cent belonged to medium production of use of bio-fertilizers in soybean crop followed by low and highproduction grou
