Version 2025.2

June 27, 2025

Soil Properties to Measure

Document more than just basic elements in the soil with the updated Additional Measured Soil Properties table.
  • Generalized to document properties and elements of the soil, e.g. temperature, moisture, water holding capacity.
  • Useful for trial-wide soil analyses, even if they occur multiple times during the season. If taking a soil sample for each plot, an Assessment column is still the best way to record this data!
 
Workflow to record soil properties, especially for repeated analyses:
  1. Select properties and units to record (can be specified in Protocol).
     
  2. For a given analysis data, select Insert Soil Records button.
     
  3. Confirm properties to record and enter other details about the sample.
     
  4. Click OK to insert and auto-fill rows for selected properties to record.
