Leave the control soil samples, loosely covered with foil, under the same conditions, but without exposure to chloroform. v) After 10 days, extract each soil sample with 63ml of 2M KCl for one hour, using an end-over-end (or rotary) shaker. Centrifuge for 2-5 mins at 2500g to separate soil and supernatant.

The Soil Survey Manual (USDA, Agriculture Handbook No. 18) provides the major principles and practices needed for making and using soil surveys and for assembling and using related data. The Manual (issued in March 2017) serves as a guiding document for activities of the National Cooperative Soil Survey (NCSS).
2.1 Different soil conservation requirements over time A number of significant changes to soil conservation requirements have been introduced over the years. Before any soil conservation survey is undertaken, the first step is to determine what soil conservation requirements were specified and what definitions apply.
