Abstract: Soil quality plays a critical role in determining soil suitability for crop production. Despite its importance in plant growth, the concept of soil quality remains largely unfamiliar to many in the Philippines. In Alaminos City, while technological advancements in agriculture, particularly in soil quality testing—are embraced, farmers often lack access to real-time and user-friendly monitoring systems. The proponents developed a system that can display the soil parameters that make the soil fertile. The proponents used Purposive sampling to identify the number of respondents. An interview with the Agriculturist from the Office of City Agriculture in Alaminos City is conducted to understand the proposed system’s underlying concepts. The proponents used the Agile Model for software development. Findings show that the overall weighted mean of the proposed application in its assessment of acceptability is 3.77 which is interpreted as excellent in terms of system evaluation adapted from ISO 25010. The procedure of implementation sought in this study will serve as a guide in crafting detailed suggestions in monitoring the soil quality here in Alaminos City. The developed features of the application provided necessary data that could help the City of Agriculturist to monitor the soil parameters and interpret the result. The application is intended to run on smartphones, only suitable for Android platforms. Further study is recommended for various processes, measures, and certain other features not included in the developed application functionality.
