TAKING SOIL SAMPLES FOR MOISTURE DETERMINATION:

These instructions for sampling soils to determine the moisture level were developed for use in nursery programs. Because finer or heavier textured soils tend to hold water longer, and water tends to collect in low spots, they are likely to be the wettest areas of a field. In many instances, fumigants have the potential to penetrate soil to five feet or even more if soil moisture is not limiting and this should be considered when selecting a rate to utilize.
