Abstract/Summary
Both collection and laboratory treatment of samples contribute to the uncertainty in the final analytical results. A detailed study of a pasture field showed that, for realistic sample numbers, field variation was in the range 20–40%. Routine analysis of a reference soil, coupled with the use of some simple criteria for the acceptance of analytical results, showed that laboratory variation could be maintained at well below 10%, generally much less than the field variation.
