Good day. Referring to my question, I am interested to know

1. How is the sampling of soil and plant parts done in paddy plots?

2. How many samples are enough? What are the criteria to determine them?

3. Is there a validated method that is available?

For example, if the area of my concern is approximately a few hundred hectares consisting of several plots, how do I estimate the sample size so that I can represent the population?

Thank you all in advance. I appreciate every little information that is to help me understand the concept of sampling.
