Soil Testing and Interpretation for Vegetable Crops
Report or other publication
Nitrogen fixation by crop legumes reduces the need for fertiliser nitrogen (N) and emissions of nitrous oxide. Benefits from legumes can be maximised by using high-yielding legume varieties that are not constrained by poor management, insects, disease, weeds or nutrient deficiencies.
Updated critical soil test values will help improve test interpretation to inform better fertiliser decisions for the GRDC Western region.
Nitrogen fertiliser management
Fact sheet
Fact sheet from researchers from the University of Western Australia (UWA) who conducted glasshouse studies to investigate the short-term interaction between surface-applied lime and sulfate of ammonia on ammonia volatilisation, crop growth and yield.
Understanding soil analysis data
Report or other publication
The aim of this Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development report is to help people who are interested in soil science, but are not specialists in this area, to better understand soil analysis reports in particular, and soil data in general.
Soil nitrate and ammonium are dynamic; both properties change in response to rainfall and urea application.
Inoculating legumes: practice and science
Report or other publication
A comprehensive handbook detailing all the latest science and practical management knowledge around legume inoculation.
