Major Eastern Wheatbelt Soils To Characterise Soil Moisture Availability, Jeffrey Jon Russell Jun 2005

Major Eastern Wheatbelt Soils To Characterise Soil Moisture Availability, Jeffrey Jon Russell

Resource management technical reports

In the Eastern Wheatbelt of Western Australia, there are seven major soil groups (acid sands, good soilplain soils, gravelly sands, duplex soils, medium-heavy soils, heavy non-friable soils and heavy friable soils. This report considers the ability of various soils to store or retain water in an attempt to partially determine the yield potential of crops.
