Temporal Changes in Cd Sorption and Plant Bioavailability in Compost-Amended Soils
The application of Cd-contaminated phosphate fertiliser has enriched concentrations of this non-essential element in many agricultural soils. Consequently, concentrations of the metal in some agricultural…
Video
Using green crops for soil fertility and health
These video resources have been created to make it easier for NZ farmers to use green crops more confidently and effectively. Doing so will improve…
Map
Soil erosion losses and contributions from underlying sources/causes
Regional maps of modelled soil loss from surface erosion across Aotearoa New Zealand are provided in .tif fomat for use in GIS. These large .zip files (use 7-zip or…
Guidance
Using farm dairy effluent on free-draining soils
Additional measures, on top of regulations and industry good practice and guidelines, may be needed to minimise P losses from FDE applied to free-draining soils.…
Journal Article
Assessing soil health following conversion from forestry to pasture in Canterbury
Soil health was assessed across land conversions from forestry (Pinus radiata) to irrigated dairy pasture. Samples were collected and indicators of soil fertility, organic matter,…
Journal Article
A Global Database of Soil Plant Available Phosphorus
Soil phosphorus drives food production that is needed to feed a growing global population. However, knowledge of plant available phosphorus stocks at a global scale…
Journal Article
Factors controlling shallow subsurface dissolved reactive phosphorus concentration and loss kinetics from poorly drained saturated grassland soils
Shallow subsurface pathways dominate dissolved reactive phosphorus (DRP) losses in grassland soils that are: poorly drained, shallow, or have a perched water table in wetter…
Journal Article
A new robust hybrid model based on support vector machine and firefly meta-heuristic algorithm to predict pistachio yields and select effective soil variables
Pistachio production is an economically important crop that grows in arid environments. To predict yield and sustainably manage the use of natural resources such as…
Summary
New test for biological soil health
A quick way to assess the biological health of soil has been developed using molecular techniques to measure earthworm activity, but this needs more work…
