Building drought resilience with precision phosphorus management – SA (Webpage)
This webpage, from Northern Sustainable Soils, summarises the findings of a project that promoted variable rate technology to optimise the effectiveness of phosphorus (P) application on crops to improve productivity on the Yorke Peninsula region in South Australia. It explains the key outcomes such as the value of targeting P fertiliser to areas of greatest need, the benefits of adopting precision agriculture, the impact of seasonal conditions, and the value of farmer participitation. The webpage includes a link to a factsheet, Soil technology and innovation, that provides more information about how the project was conducted. While this webpage is tailored to the needs of SA soils, it is relevant to other southern Australian regions.#
This is a carefully curated database of important soil resources. The data base is not exhaustive but rather a library of the resources we believe are the most useful for the audience. Each resource has been added after careful consideration against our selection criteria, including but not limited to its scientific validity, accessibility, and readability. The library generally does not include most academic research papers but may include some open-source papers written in accessible English.

SSA reminds users that these resources are a guide only. Our understanding of soil science is improving continuously so it is important to check the suitability of the information for your purpose with an appropriately qualified professional such as a Registered Soil Professional or a Certified Professional Soil ScientistÂ
