Abstract

A soil sampler was constructed for moisture and pesticide residue determinations that will retrieve soils with rocky and heavy clay layers. The sampler consisted of a commercially constructed worm-gear driven auger mounted in a 3.7-m-tall vertical frame. Depth, speed, accuracy, and ease of sample retrieval were substantially increased, compared to manual sampling.
