Agricultural productivity largely depends on soil health and proper fertilizer management. However, many farmers still rely on traditional practices and may not have clear knowledge about soil nutrient conditions. This paper presents a Web-Based Soil Health and Fertilizer Advisory System that helps farmers analyze soil parameters and obtain suitable fertilizer recommendations. The system collects soil data such as Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), and pH values and processes the information to determine nutrient deficiencies. Based on the analysis, the system suggests appropriate fertilizers and quantities required to improve soil fertility. The system is implemented using a web-based platform that allows users to easily access the advisory service. The results show that the system can provide quick and useful recommendations, helping farmers improve crop productivity and maintain healthy soil conditions
