When a determined number of single soil samples is recommended for the formation of a composite sample, the diameter of the sampling auger is not taken into account. Thus, this study aimed to determine the auger diameter that would allow a reduction in the time and effort needed for soil sampling. Single soil samples of six different volumes (40, 90, 160, 360, 810 and 1,000 cm3) were collected in three management-harvest systems (no-till planting (PD), conventional planting before (PCAA) or […]
