Composite sampling by Manitoban farmers for soil tests
A Manitoba soil testing note describes composite sampling by depth 0 to 6 inches, 6 to 12 inches, and 12 to 24 inches. Farmers mix samples from multiple spots to reflect field conditions, with charges per sample and caution that crop response to fertilizer must be established first. Research in Manitoba supports lab testing practices, with multiple samples per depth common in Canada and the United States.
