Location and Number of Required Soil Explorations . When the HSG designation is either undetermined from the NRCS Soil Survey or inaccurate with respect Sampling. Correct usage of soil, plant, and forage results depends on 1) a sample representative of the area or batch from which it was taken, 2) an accurate laboratory analysis, and 3) the correct interpretation of lab results. The laboratory analysis should be the most accurate step unless gross analytical errors go undetected or poor characterize soil behavior for design and constructability assessments (e.g., shear strength, compressibility, hydraulic conductivity, etc.). This chapter provides information on common laboratory test methods for soils and rocks including testing equipment, general procedures related to each test, and parameters measured by the tests. This Circular consists of revised portions from the IFAS Ex- tension Soil Testing Laboratory Chemical Procedures and Training Manual (CIR 812), authored by Hanlon, Gonzalez and Bartos, which has been withdrawn. The procedures described in this manual reflect the current methodologies for agricultural testing offered by the UF/IFAS ESTL.

All our SOPs are compiled in the GLOSOLAN's Best practice manual , an online document structured as a flexible compendium of volumes to be published as soon as ready. The Soil Doctors programme is developed under the umbrella of the Global Soil Partnership and promotes the establishment of a farmer-to-farmer training system. The Soil Doctors Global Programme aims to build the capacity of smallholder farmers on the practice of sustainable soil management and, by doing so, support governmental agencies and organizations working on agricultural extension at manual that the soil testing laboratories may maintain a live relationship with the soils department in the SAUs / ICAR system where regular training programmes may be organized for the heads of Central Lab while the technical staff of other laboratories may be trained at nodal and central • Soil testing procedures 49 o Setting up of soil Soil Testing for Determining HSG Required profile pit and boring depths: •To seasonal high water table, or •Deeper of either six (6) feet below existing grade or four (4) feet below proposed grade For more information, refer to BMP Manual Appendix E, 3b ("Soil Logs") 1b: HSG Testing Procedures (cont'd.)
