sampling augers are available in all stainless steel for EPA testing or carbon steel bits with stainless steel cylinders for general soil sampling and augering. Perfect for augering shallow depths, AMS soil augers can also auger deeper depths and are generally limited by only the time and muscle of the user.are available in all stainless steel for EPA testing or carbon steel bits with stainless steel cylinders for general soil sampling and augering. Perfect for augering shallow depths, AMS soil augers can also auger deeper depths and are generally limited by only the time and muscle of the user.

Depending upon the purpose and precision required following tools are needed for taking soil samples. • Soil auger- or a spade for taking samples. • A clean bucket or a tray or a clean cloth for mixing the soil and sub sampling. • Cloth bags of specific size. • Copying pencil for markings and tags for tying cloth bags. • Soil sample information sheet.

The procedure for obtaining soil samples vary according to the purpose of sampling such as for engineering and agricultural purposes. In this Technote, soil sampling for agricultural purpose is described for soil fertility evaluation and fertilizer recommendations for crops. The results of even very carefully conducted soil analysis are as good as the soil sample itself. Thus, the efficiency of soil testing service depends upon the care and skill of soil sampling. Non-representative samples constitute the largest single source of error in the entire soil fertility programme. It is the most important phase of soil analysis is accomplished not in a lab but in the field
