Abstract
Researches (2011 and 2014) about the electro conductivity of the soil and its importance in the inventorying of soils were conducted on the experimental stations of the Belje Company. Through this research the hypothesis about the importance of application of the principle of electro conductivity in the process of determining the properties of the soil through the use of ES scanners was confirmed. Regarding the application of methods according to the principle of electro conductivity of the soil, it is evident that randomized sampling method i.e. the samples were not sufficiently homogeneous and precise, whereas the predictive method of sampling was more advanced and the samples were more homogenous and presented the state on the production level better. During the research conducted through method "Z scheme", 324 GPS points were performed, while when using randomized method, in which it is not obligatory to cover the whole area, 252 GPS points were counted. This fact indicates that this method is particularly reliable when drafting a map, which is intended to be used in agricultural practice, and it is reco
