AGROSUS Soil and Weed Sampling Kit

Weed sampling in agricultural plots requires a 1×1 metre sampling area defined by a hoop or marked square. Collect weeds within the area, preserving root integrity, and measure fresh weight of total, monocotyledonous, and dicotyledonous species separately. For dominant species, measure aerial and root lengths of 5–10 plants. Dry samples completely, then record dry weight. Sample at least monthly, before any weed control. Estimate total, monocot, and dicot weed coverage visually. Identify dominant species, including family and species. The AGROSUS Soil and Weed Sampling Kit provides tools and guidance for accurate sampling. Video tutorials available.
