Sampling

		At Krushi Savya, our scientific soil sampling process is the cornerstone of precision agriculture. We ensure every sample is a true representation of your field’s health, leading to highly accurate and actionable recommendations. Our method is based on established best practices and a deep understanding of Indian agricultural conditions.
		
	

A. Soil Sampling

Step 1: Strategic Planning We begin by creating a strategic sampling plan for your farm. This involves:

We seize opportunities to innovate and grow

Timing: Collecting samples during a fallow period, at least 6-8 weeks after any fertilizer application, to get the most accurate baseline reading.

Step 2: Methodical Collection We use specialized soil probes to collect samples from a consistent depth (typically 15-30 cm, or per crop requirement). Our team follows a systematic “Zig-Zag” or “W” pattern across each uniform unit. This technique ensures we collect a minimum of 10-15 cores from random, representative spots, avoiding unusual areas like field edges, manure piles, or waterlogged spots.

Step 3: Professional Handling and Preparation To create a single, representative sample for each unit, we:

Remove Debris: Carefully remove any plant residue, stones, or roots.

Timing: Collecting samples during a fallow period, at least 6-8 weeks after any fertilizer application, to get the most accurate baseline reading.

Labeling: The composite sample is immediately placed in a labeled bag with all necessary information, including the farmer's name, farm location, and date of collection.

B. Irrigation Water Sampling

In farming, the soil’s foundation is strongly linked to water. For this, samples can be taken from a well, borewell, canal, or artificial pond. If you are taking a borewell water sample, you should run the borewell for 15 to 20 minutes, and then clean a sterile bottle 5 to 6 times with the same water before collecting the sample. The bottle should be labeled with the farmer’s name, the date the sample was taken, and a mobile number
