Knowing Your Soils South Australia Ute Guide (Manual)
This manual is a practical, hands-on tool designed to help landholders monitor and improve their soils. By conducting the simple, regular soil tests outlined in the guide, landholders can better understand soil condition, identify constraints, and track improvements over time. The guide emphasises the value of consistent, site-specific testing and provides step-by-step instructions using 3 easy-to-complete cards for recording observations and results. These records support decision-making for more sustainable, profitable land management. The manual is best used alongside the Knowing Your Soils SA handbook which offers additional background on soil types, constraints and management strategies with references provided throughout the ute guide [PDFÂ 6.5 MB, 40 pages].#
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
