Esperance Downs Research Station : Rehabilitation Report, H L. Jones
Resource management technical reports
The overall program objectives were: rehabilitation of degraded areas on the Esperance Downs Research Station to be demonstrated to restore agricultural productivity. Specific degradation issues addressed were salinity, waterlogging and wind erosion. The second objective was the demonstration of sustainable agricultural systems at a farm scale which either slow, halt or reverse land degradation while being profitable. Specific strategies adopted to reclaim land included surface drainage, tree planting,

The project aim was to map the distribution of waterlogging occurrences relative to soil type and climate; to develop soil, water and crop management practices applied to the concept of raised beds to alleviate or prevent waterlogging; to establish the economics of raised bed farming, relative to geographic location and waterlogging frequency.

This handbook integrates the current knowledge of soils in south-western Australia in a user-friendly form. It describes how to assess which soil properties influence production and land degradation in the agricultural area and summarises management options to remedy or minimise soil limitations. The potential for growing a large range of crops and pastures can be assessed. In particular, the links between soil morphology, soil properties, management and agronomy are emphasised. The manual is designed for use at the paddock scale or for site assessment, but it can also be used at a catchment or regional scale. It is specifically designed …
