A new system for gaining, processing and analysis of soil samples was developed. It consists of an auger-based soil extracting instrument, a dosing apparatus, a preparation station, a filtration unit and a field testing kit. All components can be transported in a van. The results show that major disadvantages which are existing in the presently employed system can be eliminted.
