At trial termination, a soil sample representing 0.5% of total pot soil was taken from each experimental unit (pot) using a small soil probe to minimize root loss and account for a complete cross-section of soil. The samples were allowed to air-dry under ambient conditions until weight stabilized, then sifted.
