Ordinarily, if you want to know how soil properties change at different depths, you have to extract soil core samples. Scientists have now determined that the same data can be obtained much more ...

"Soil analysis and lime and fertilizer recommendations are only as good as the samples," Camberato said. "Do not skimp on the number of cores or increase the size of the sample area represented." Soil ...

The amount of time it takes to allow the water to reach deep enough depends on your soil conditions, but you can use a soil core sampler to measure water penetration.

The California benchmark is 80 ppm. Next, he’ll do a soil core sample going as deep as 12 inches, Ali explained.

For their study, Anderson and his former graduate student, Langston Simmons, took soil core samples up to 40 centimeters deep from logging roads, log landing areas and logged areas in portions of ...

AMES, Iowa – The ability of cover crops to stimulate microbes deep in the soil of farm fields leads to significant gains in water quality but does not necessarily increase the capacity of soil to ...
