    Introduction: Enhancing soil health and nutrient levels through fertilizers boosts agricultural productivity and global food security. However, careful fertilizer use is essential to prevent environmental damage and improve crop yields. The Soil Test Crop Response (STCR) is a scientific approach to fertilizer recommendation which ensures efficient use, supporting higher crop production while protecting the environment and preserving resources. Methodology: A long-term field experiment on soil test crop responseSTCR-based fertilizer recommendationapproach was initiated in 2017 at the Zonal Agriculture Research Station,

    Keywords: STCR, yield, nutrient use efficiency, soil quality, principle component analysis
