Soil sampling is the process of collecting small amounts of soil from different locations to analyze its properties. This helps determine the soil's nutrient content, pH level, and contamination. Farmers, researchers, and environmental scientists often use soil samples to make informed decisions about land use and crop management. The collected samples are usually sent to a laboratory for testing. Results can guide actions such as fertilization, crop selection, and soil conservation practices. Proper soil sampling techniques ensure accurate results, which are essential for maintaining healthy ecosystems and productive agricultural practices.
