𝐁𝐒 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐆𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬-𝐎𝐧 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬

On April 15, 2026, agriculturists Mr. Edmond N. Odon and Ms. Gina C. Regis from the 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐒𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞–𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐅𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝟖 (𝐃𝐀-𝐑𝐅𝐎 𝟖) conducted a 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬. This significant learning activity was attended by 𝐁𝐒 𝐀𝐠𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 students to provide hands-on learning experiences beyond the classroom in the field of soil analysis.

The first activity was a lecture on soil sampling delivered by Mr. Edmond N. Odon, an alumnus of the program. In his lecture, he emphasized the importance of proper soil sampling, the key considerations before collecting soil samples, and the correct procedures for sample collection. This was followed by an actual demonstration of soil sampling outside the venue, allowing students to observe the process firsthand.

Afterward, Ms. Gina C. Regis delivered a lecture on soil analysis using the Soil-Test Kit (STK) technology developed by the Bureau of Soils and Water Management (BSWM). Her lecture covered the proper handling of the STK, including soil sample preparation, safe handling of the chemicals used in analysis, interpretation of results, and the use of the BSWM FertRight mobile application, which generates accurate and science-based fertilizer recommendations based on soil test kit results. A demonstration and hands-on activity followed, with active participation from both students and faculty members of the program. Participants were also given the opportunity to present and discuss their findings.

One of the main highlights of the event was the turnover of Soil Test Kits for use in analyzing soils cultivated by farmers within the university vicinity. Present during this part of the program was Dr. Eduardo Cablao Jr., Campus Administrator, who witnessed the formal turnover of the equipment that will support future soil testing initiatives in the community.

The practice of proper soil sampling and soil analysis is essential in agriculture, particularly for farmers. Accurate soil testing provides location-specific fertilizer recommendations that help prevent the overapplication of fertilizers, reduce unnecessary production costs, and improve farm income. More importantly, it contributes to the promotion of sustainable agricultural practices by ensuring that soil nutrients are managed efficiently and responsibly.
