Process of taking sample for soil testing

23/03/2020Posted on
  • For soil testing, the sample should be taken in such a way that it represents the complete area or field. At least 500 grams of the sample must be taken for soil testing. 
  • Remove organic materials such as twigs, dry leaves, stalks and grasses etc. from the top surface of the soil, and choose samples from 8-10 locations according to the area of the field.
  • At selected locations, make a V-shaped hole of around 10-15 cm in shallow root crops and 25-30 cm depth for deep root crops.
  • Then cut a uniform layer of soil of about one-inch thickness and collect it.
  • Similarly, take samples from other parts of farms too. Now mix this samples of soil and divide it into four parts.
  • Now remove two facing parts from this sample as shown in the image, and make a pile of the remaining part. Keep repeating the same process until you are left with only half kilogram of soil sample.
  • Put this soil sample in polyethene and label it. 
  • For labelling, write the name of the farmer, location of the field, date of soil sampling and the name of the previous, present crop as well as the crop you are planning to sow next.
