Different soil types are spread in the territory of our republic. These soil types
sometimes change even in the same farm area. To do this, soil samples must be
taken from different parts of each field. I mean:
- Samples should be taken from different and main places of the same field. For
example, some of the soil in a field may be light in color and some may be dark
in color. This color difference shows us that the amount of organic matter, iron,
manganese and many other nutrients in different parts of the field are different.
- Some of the field may be straight, some may be curved, or some part of the
field may be concave, and some may be relatively high. If there are such
different places in the same field, samples must be taken from these parts.
But where not to take soil samples?
If the point at which the waist is immersed for soil sampling after the location
of the soil samples is known;
Soil samples should not be taken from under other trees in the field, except in
areas designated for fruit growing and the cultivation of certain wild trees.
Up to 1 kg of soil should be sampled from the field using paper, silk and
nylon bags.
How to take a proper soil sample
The sampler must go to the beginning of the field with the necessary
equipment. Entering from one end of the field to the other end, soil samples are
taken and moved forward. However, these samples should be taken in a zigzag
pattern, not in a straight line from one side of the field to the other. Care should be
taken to take samples from all sides of the planting area.
Mixed soil samples should be taken by zigzagging from one end of the field to the
other, as shown in the figure. In this way, samples taken from the field are placed
in a bucket and moved forward. Finally, all soil samples taken from the field are
mixed. Up to 1 kg of soil sample is taken into a cloth or paper bag.
Labeling: A paper label is prepared and placed on the sample to identify who the
prepared and bagged soil samples belong to and where they were taken from. The
following information must be written on the label with a pencil:
Name
Why the soil sample was taken and where it was taken
As for the place where the soil sample was taken from the field
Consideration should be given to whether this site is a suitable site for soil
sampling.
If this area is suitable for sampling, the topsoil should be cleared of grass, large
stones and debris.
In the cleaned area, the back is immersed in the soil to a depth of 30 cm.
Then a sample is taken every 10 cm of the hole opened and slowly thrown into
a paper bag.
The sample is added to the inside of the bucket or bag by straightening only the
sides on the back.
This rule already takes a sample. 10-20 samples should be taken from 40 hectares.
These samples are then mixed. It is recommended to prepare 1 kg of mixed sample
for analysis from each of 8 samples.
What to taking account for when collecting samples in a bag:
If soil samples are placed in polyethylene bags, they should be drilled in several
places with a pencil. The purpose of opening the holes is to create conditions for
the evaporation of natural moisture from the soil. Also, the paper label we put on
the sample is prevented from tearing due to moisture.
The soil samples taken should be dried by spreading them in a room where they
are not exposed to direct sunlight. It should be noted that the samples are not
allowed to dry in the reagent storage room.
The results of the analysis cannot be considered reliable if soil samples are
taken from the top layer by hand and not from a depth of up to 30 cm;
If the amount of soil taken for analysis is 100-150 g instead of 1 kg, the results
of laboratory tests will not be obtained correctly;
When a farmer has several fields in the same area, after the soil samples are
taken, the label does not indicate which field belongs to which field and it is most
roughest mistake.
For perennials: Taking soil samples to determine fertilizer rates for perennials is
the same as for perennials. The only difference from annual plants is that samples
must be taken not only from the depth of 0-30 cm of soil, but also from deeper
layers.
In perennials, samples should be taken, especially from depths of 0-30, 30-60, 60-
90 cm. If necessary, samples of 60-90 and 90-120 cm layers can be taken.
Of course, when taking these samples, the backs is not considered sufficient. In
this case, special burrs are often used. However, at this depth, the pit should be dug
and samples should be taken from different depths of the pit (0-30,30-60,60-90,
etc.) by measuring with a ruler. The samples taken are packaged as described above
and sent to the laboratory.
