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.
The interaction between soil pH and phosphorus fertilizer is dynamic
Report or other publication
This NSW DPI Soils Network of Knowledge (SNoK) webinar will delve into the history of the Phosphorus Buffering Index (PBI), what soil characteristics drive PBI values and how we utilise and interpret PBI in both agronomic and environmental settings.
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.
