The AGROSUS project has released a series of informative tutorials designed to support sustainable farming practices. These tutorials cover crucial topics such as soil sampling, bulk density measurement, and weed sampling. They provide practical guidance for farmers, researchers, and enthusiasts, helping them to improve agricultural practices through accurate data collection and analysis. You can find a summary of all the information in the AGROSUS Soil and Weed Sampling Kit brochure.
Here’s a brief overview of the three key tutorials available:
1. Soil Sampling Tutorial
The Soil Sampling Tutorial introduces the fundamental steps of soil sampling, from preparation to storage. It covers the proper use of equipment such as augers and coolers, ensuring accurate analysis of soil composition and health. This tutorial is a must-watch for anyone involved in agriculture or environmental science, as it equips viewers with the knowledge needed to collect reliable soil samples.
