The pilot Soil Sampling and Analysis Programme is co-funded by the EU and national exchequer under the Rural Development Programme 2014-2022 (RDP) under Article 51 of the regulation. It will develop a national baseline of soil parameters (& soil health indicators) at a scale immediately applicable on an agronomic level.
The national soil sampling will focus on:
• Macro- and micronutrients for agronomic advice and water quality risk assessment.
• Soil carbon(C) relating primarily improving climate objectives and soil health.
• Soil pathogen assessment as a biosecurity measure for policy guidance
