A soil probe is a tool used to collect soil samples from the ground. It typically consists of a long, cylindrical metal or plastic tube with a sharp end that allows it to penetrate the soil easily. Farmers, gardeners, and researchers use soil probes to assess soil health, moisture levels, and nutrient content. Using a soil probe helps in understanding the soil's composition and structure. This information is crucial for making informed decisions about planting, fertilization, and irrigation. By analyzing the samples, one can improve crop yields and maintain sustainable land management practices.
