Precision agriculture requires a wide sampling procedure to determine the spatial variability of soil properties for adequate assessment of soil state and appropriate recommendations. Electrical geophysical methods (i.e. vertical electrical resistivity sounding) allow performing rapid measurement of soil electrical properties directly from the soil surface to any depth without any mechanical disturbance of soil cover. Soil electrical properties are linked with many soil properties and could improve the quality and spatial coverage of soil surveys. The results obtained in our study using vertical electrical resistivity sounding confirmed the hypothesis of a high correlation between electrical resistivity and such soil properties as carbon and nitrogen content and silt content. The highest correlation (
