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 />
