Farm Table says:

SoilsWest Soil Quality eBooks is a free, interactive digital library of 10 multimedia ebooks specifically written for southwest Australian broadacre agriculture.

These ebooks distill decades of WA soil research into practical, layered guides on key constraints, blending science with grower case studies. Titles cover Constraints to Plant Production (overview), Integrated Soil Management (multi-issue strategies), Soil Organic Matter, Soil Acidity, Soil Biology, Soil Compaction, Soil Water Repellence, Sodic/Alkaline Soils, Gravel Soils (24% of WA cropping land), and Plant Nutrition. Interactive features include videos, animations, diagnostic calculators, clickable maps, and pop-up glossaries for all experience levels.

Invaluable for WA grain/pasture growers tackling non-wetting, compaction, acidity, and nutrition on sandy/gravelly soils. Beyond reading, ebooks provide on-farm diagnostics (e.g., water repellence tests) and management templates that integrate with resilience planning. Relevant interstate for similar soil types (e.g., SA/VIC gravel country). Download via Apple Books for iOS/Mac—perfect for paddock reference during 2026 seeding.
