effects of excessive and imbalanced nitrogen use. The framework should also look at the development of production to consumption should be considered, to reduce waste, air and climate emissions and increase farming systems. Pakistan's soil health is under strain from salinity, waterlogging, and overuse of nitrogen—-undermining farm productivity. There is issue of chronic waterlogging across roughly 7 million hectares in Pakistan and a long-term rise in saline soils, reflecting persistent drainage and management in the soil. Since those nutrients are not replaced, the soil gradually becomes depleted and less fertile over Focused advisory and extension services are required for soil testing; balanced fertilizer use and cropping pulses and oilseeds. Limited public support and inadequate research investment in pulses and 21 Watto, M. A., Aziz, T, Wakeel, A., Ahmad, W., Marwat, A.
