Soil groups of Western Australia: a simple guide to the main soils of Western Australia (4th edn)
This publication provides a simple, standardised and easy-to-understand way to recognise the most common soils in Western Australia.
It is designed to:
1) Provide a standard way of giving common names to the main soils of the State;
2) Provide a simple method to identify them;
3) Assist with the communication of soils information at a general level
Yield Response to Deep Ripping of Canola, Wheat and Barley on Soils with Multiple Constraints
Yellow Tenosols (yellow deep sand) in the Western Australian grainbelt often have multiple constraints to crop production, which include non-wetting, subsoil compaction and acidity. As a result of these multiple limitations these soils have been considered poor cropping soils with estimated costs in lost production exceeding $200/ha. A systems approach to managing these soils has been developed to improve crop production, which includes a winter fallow, limesand application and deep tillage in late winter and seeding canola in the following autumn
Impact of Lime and Gypsum on Wheat Yield, Soil and Solution Properties in the Short and Long Term
Subsoil aluminium (Al) toxicity or soils with AlCaCl2 content \u3e 2.5 mg Al kg-1 in the soil layers below 10 cm is a significant problem in south Western Australia. Both lime and gypsum can be used to treat subsoils Al toxicity because these products decrease the toxic effect of soil Al leading to an increase in crop grain yields. In this presentation, results are reported from three field lime by gypsum rate experiments located in the east of Merredin
Cockatoo Sands in the Victoria Highway and Carlton Hill areas, East Kimberley: land capability assessment for developing irrigated agriculture
This report identifies areas of Cockatoo Sands adjacent to the Ord River Irrigation Area (ORIA), Kununurra, with high potential for developing irrigated agriculture. It builds on a reconnaissance soil survey conducted in 2009 which identified significant areas of sandy and loamy soils in the Kununurra area that could be suitable for agriculture
Subsoil contraints and their management: Overview from five years of R&D
Subsoil constraints cost the grains industry more than $1.6b in lost production each year. Diagnosing and mapping subsoil constraints (SSC) was achieved at a shire scale using the DPIRD soils database and historic surveys
