Precision farming rapidly sets new efficiency standards, and everything starts with accurate soil sampling. Soil samplers provide agronomists with trustworthy field data that inform fertilizer, seeding, and irrigation decisions.

Why soil samplers matter

Proper sampling reveals the chemical, physical, and biological parameters of the soil. You need it to:

  • optimize fertilizer rates (avoiding overspending and environmental risks);
  • track dynamics inside the soil profile;
  • diagnose issues with pH, compaction, and contamination;
  • build field maps for GPS control and automated machine refilling.

The result for the farm: a fertility map, higher yields, and more efficient use of resources.

When and how to sample in Ukraine

Most samples are collected in autumn or spring before major fertilizer applications. Sampling density depends on the field size and variability of nutrient supply (reference point: 1 sample per 5 hectares). Follow these rules:

  • keep the depth consistent: 0-30 cm for the tilled layer, deeper horizons for dedicated tests;
  • do not mix soil layers;
  • log sampling spots with GPS. Sampling quality directly influences lab accuracy and the correctness of future field operations.

Main types of soil samplers

  1. Manual
  • A simple option for small plots.
  • Basically cylinders, augers, or metal scoops.
  • Pros: low cost and mobility.
  • Cons: high physical effort and limited depth.

2. Mechanized (battery, combustion, or electric drive)

  • Speed up the workflow and reduce operator fatigue.
  • Reach greater depths (up to 1.5-2 m).
  • Mount on ATVs, cars, and other vehicles.

3. Trailed and vehicle-mounted

  • Permanently installed on pickups, SUVs, or tractors.
  • Operate autonomously, covering large areas and multiple depths.
  • Best suited for large agribusinesses and busy laboratories.

Bodenprobetechnik Peters GmbH (formerly Nietfeld): solution overview

The German company Bodenprobetechnik Peters GmbH is a global leader in soil sampling systems. Their equipment already operates across Ukraine in agribusinesses, labs, and service companies.
