An Inventory And Condition Survey Of The Sandstone-Yalgoo-Paynes Find Area, Western Australia, A L. Payne, A M E Van Vreeswyk, K A. Leighton, H J. Pringle, P Hennig
An Inventory And Condition Survey Of The Sandstone-Yalgoo-Paynes Find Area, Western Australia, A L. Payne, A M E Van Vreeswyk, K A. Leighton, H J. Pringle, P Hennig
Technical Bulletins
The inventory and condition survey of the Sandstone-Yalgoo-Paynes Find area, undertaken by the Department of Agriculture and Food, Western Australia (DAFWA) between 1992 and 1993, describes and maps the natural resources of the region’s pastoral leasehold land. This survey report provides a baseline record of the existence and condition of the area’s natural resources, to assist with the planning and implementation of land management practices. The report identified and described the condition of soils, landforms, vegetation, habitat, ecosystems, and declared plants and animals. It also assessed the impact of pastoralism and made land management recommendations. The area surveyed covers about …

Technical Bulletins
The inventory and condition survey of rangelands in the Ashburton River catchment, undertaken by the Department of Agriculture and Food, Western Australia (DAFWA) between 1976 and 1978, describes and maps the natural resources of the region’s pastoral leasehold land. This survey report provides a baseline record of the existence and condition of the natural area’s resources, to assist with the planning and implementation of land management practices. The report identified and described the condition of soils, landforms, vegetation, habitat, ecosystems, and declared plants and animals.

Cereal, Pasture Legume And Water Supply Prospects At Forrestania : Results Of Experimental Work East Of Hyden, Western Australia, T E. Mcdowell, M G. Mason, J W. Gartrell, William J. Toms, I A F Laing
Cereal, Pasture Legume And Water Supply Prospects At Forrestania : Results Of Experimental Work East Of Hyden, Western Australia, T E. Mcdowell, M G. Mason, J W. Gartrell, William J. Toms, I A F Laing
Technical Bulletins
The agricultural potential of the Forrestania area appears at least equal to that of much of the settled eastern wheatbelt. The scrubplain soils of the Forrestania area have an average yield potential of at least 1 000 kg/ha wheat and carrying capacity of 1.8 to 3.7 sheep per hectare on improved pastures. The use of clover ley rotations would maintain these levels of potential yield. Partial crop failures caused by adverse seasonal conditions could be expected 10 years in every 100.
The Perillup Soil Survey. 1. Soil Survey In The Perillup District. 2. Comparison Of Some Perillup Soils With Some Mt Barker Orchard Soils, K T. Whitely, T C. Stoneman
The Perillup Soil Survey. 1. Soil Survey In The Perillup District. 2. Comparison Of Some Perillup Soils With Some Mt Barker Orchard Soils, K T. Whitely, T C. Stoneman
Technical Bulletins
A soil survey was made of an area of 3,600 acres in the Perillup district, 20 miles west of Mt. Barker, in order to assess the suitability of the soils for fruit growing. The soil types were described and mapped, and chemical analyses performed on representative samples. Nutrient levels were low in most soils. Soil samples from commercially productive orchards in an adjacent area (Mt. Barker) were also collected and analysed and shown to be similar to the soils in the survey area.
The Agricultural Potential Of Owingup Swamp. 1. Soil Survey Of Owingup Swamp. 2. Comparison Of Owingup And Grasmere Swamps, L T. Jones, C V. Malcolm, James P. Fallon, Department Of Agriculture And Food, Western Australia
The Agricultural Potential Of Owingup Swamp. 1. Soil Survey Of Owingup Swamp. 2. Comparison Of Owingup And Grasmere Swamps, L T. Jones, C V. Malcolm, James P. Fallon, Department Of Agriculture And Food, Western Australia
Technical Bulletins
The two swamps, Owingup and Grasmere are practically identical with regard to soil conditions. Grasmere swamp however has been cleared and used for agriculture for some 60 years while Owingup swamp is as yet unalientated. Soils on both swamps consist of mainly organic diatomaceous clay. Findings of the survey indicate that some 2000 acres at Owingup swamp would be suitable for vegetable growing following clearing and draining.
