Soil sampling is the process of collecting soil from various locations to analyze its composition and health. This practice helps farmers, scientists, and environmentalists understand the nutrient levels, pH, and contaminants present in the soil. By taking samples from different areas, they can identify variations in soil quality and make informed decisions about land management. The collected soil samples are usually sent to a laboratory for testing. Results can guide the application of fertilizers, the selection of crops, and the implementation of conservation practices. Proper soil sampling ensures that the land is used sustainably and effectively, benefiting both agriculture and the environment.
