Before planting a crop, it is useful to conduct soil sampling and testing to find out what is happening beneath the surface and if there are any areas that need to be addressed to ensure you have the best performing crop possible.

Soil Wealth and Integrated Crop Protection has produced this fact sheet for guidance on how to take soil samples correctly, and obtain reliable information on the nutrient status of your soil.

This resource has been produced by the Hort Innovation-funded Soil Wealth and ICP project – jointly delivered by RM Consulting Group and Applied Horticultural Research.
