ACES ANR-3181, Precision Soil Sampling Strategies for Site-Specific Nutrient Management (2025)

The wording in the source

Timing

  • Ideally, grid sampling should be conducted every 4 to 5 years in each field, while zone sampling should be used in between to be more effective with both nutrient applications and sampling costs.

    ANR-3181, Summary

Area per sample

  • The size of sampling grids can range between 1 and 5 acres, but a smaller grid size of 2.5 acres or less is recommended to accurately capture variability in soil pH and nutrient levels within fields. Larger grid sizes (up to 5 acres) are often used in relatively uniform fields to reduce labor and sampling costs.

    ANR-3181, Grid Sampling

  • sampling grids should be 2.5 acres or less for grid sampling, and management zones should be 10 acres or less for zone sampling.

    ANR-3181, Summary

Method

  • grid sampling should be used in all newly cropped fields; in fields that have been brought back into production after a few years; in fields with past management issues; or in any field where a baseline of nutrient variability needs to be established.

    ANR-3181, Choice of Precision Soil Sampling Strategy

  • point sampling is usually the preferred method, where eight to ten soil cores are collected in a circular pattern (in a radius of 30 to 50 feet depending on grid size) around the centroid point within a grid.

    ANR-3181, Grid Sampling

  • an S pattern (or Z pattern) is more common when soil samples are collected using an automated soil sampler mounted on a utility terrain vehicle (UTV).

    ANR-3181, Grid Sampling

  • one of the most common techniques is to follow a zigzag travel pattern through the zone, randomly collecting soil cores at regular intervals

    ANR-3181, Zone Sampling

Cores

  • an adequate number of soil cores (eight to twelve) should be collected within each grid or zone to make a composite sample.

    ANR-3181, Summary

  • at least ten to fifteen cores should be collected for zones of 10 acres or less and the number of soil cores should be increased accordingly for zones larger than 10 acres.
