Technical solutions

Which are the basic principles of soil sampling?

A sufficient number of samples must be collected to accurately characterize nutrient levels

A few number of samples are needed

Samples should be taken at the correct depth for immobile and mobile nutrients

Samples should be taken by the surface

Samples do not require special handling to minimize contamination and degradation

Samples should be handled and stored to minimize contamination and degradation

Which are the main benefits of soil sampling?

Determining the levels of available nutrients currently available in the soil

Allows growers to sample individual areas of a field to determine factors such as soil type and topography and to characterize nutrient levels.

Grid sampling is one of the favorite methods of soil sampling and management, offering a relatively easy way to facilitate the operation. The samples taken during grid sampling can then be used to create a map that contains soil test values.

Which are the types of grid sampling?

Point sampling

Area sampling

Cell sampling

Matrix sampling

When is it good to apply grid sampling?

When previous management has significantly altered the soil nutrient level

When previous management has not significantly altered the soil nutrient level

When small fields with different cropping histories have been merged into one

When you have not merging fields

When an accurate base map of soil organic matter is desired

When an accurate base map of soil organic matter is not desired

Which are the types of zone sampling?

Topographic/Geographic Unit Sampling

Ambient Sampling

Which are the main benefits of zone sampling?

Zone sampling can reduce the number of samples and sampling costs while maintaining acceptable information about nutrient variability within a field

Zone sampling can reduce the number of samples and sampling costs but is not maintaining acceptable information about nutrient variability within a field

Zone sampling reduces the number of samples required but is not recognizing zones of differing nutrient status and fertility requirements

Zone sampling reduces the number of samples required while still recognizing zones of differing nutrient status and fertility requirements
