Systematic <strong>Manual</strong> Soil Sampling<br />

Upon arrival at the premises to be surveyed by systematic manual soil<br />

sampling, the inspector should do as follows:<br />

1. Look over the land.<br />

2. Determine the boundaries and size and shape of the field.<br />

3. Look at the field and determine the width and length.<br />

4. Plan how the property should be surveyed.<br />

5. Divide the property into a grid and record the grid on the field<br />

map or in the notebook.<br />

6. Sample the field following the map grid pattern.<br />

A. Completing sample in a uniform method should provide the<br />

correct soil sample size for processing at the laboratory.<br />

B. If golden nematode infestation is found, then returning to a<br />

specific block within the grid should be easier.<br />
