Optimising soil amelioration costs in typical mallee soils – SA (Factsheet)
This Mallee Sustainable Farming (MSF) factsheet describes farm trials that are testing the efficiency of different aspects of deep ripping machinery such as tine design, wings and inclusion plate attachments, operating depth, speed, tine spacing, the impact of shallow leading tines, and of pre-ripping to improve spading. The trials, located in the Victorian and South Australian Mallee, are designed to address soil compaction in deep sands. The information may also be applicable to other Australian regions [PDF 7.4 MB, 2 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.
