These stainless steel gouge
augers with different dimensions consist of a steel auger pipe, a
collecting bucket and a stick with a steel handle. The auger pipe is
filled by pressing the collecting bucket with your foot. Because of the
conical shape of this pipe the sample is easily pushed toward the
collecting trough when the next sample is taken. The correct number of
samples per hectare depends, among other factors, on the type of crop,
the relief and the type of soil. In case of grassland it is required to
take 30 samples per hectare. It is possible to take samples of the top 5
cm (resp. 10 cm) of grass covered areas, for root- and/or fertilization
research, quickly with these types of augers. The grass plot sampler is
particularly suitable for research in grassland farming but also in
horticulture and for the Parks and Public Gardens Department. Gouge
