 GPS Soil Sampling and GPS Soil Mapping - A Case Study

 

 Potato farmer from Cambridgeshire concerned about pcn  (potato cyst nematodes) pre growing potato crop on contract, wanted fields GPS soil sampled for pcn.

What information will GPS soil sampling provide?
W i l l i n g t o n C r o p S e r v i c e s

W i l l i n g t o n C r o p S e r v i c e s		 suitability of growing potatoes

chance to change cropping from potatoes on any fields or parts of fields with very high pcn counts.
W i l l i n g t o n C r o p S e r v i c e s aid choice of potato variety: choosing variety resistant to the pcn species present.
 

W i l l i n g t o n C r o p S e r v i c e s

 satisfy requirements of buyers and supermarket protocols.

GPS Soil Sampling Data collected would be :

W i l l i n g t o n C r o p S e r v i c e sGPS map field boundaries using ATV with GPS mounted to create field outlines and field areas.
GPS Soil SamplingSoil samples collected from within each ha of field with sampling grid in same direction as planting.
W i l l i n g t o n C r o p S e r v i c e sGPS soil samples analysed for pcn.
GPS Soil SamplingGPS soil results presented on field outlines, with deepest colours showing greatest pcn egg numbers: see opposite. Sampling data normally presented on map.
GPS Soil Sampling Eggs from soils with very large egg numbers were speciated to determine pcn species, ie G.rostochiensis or G.pallida.
