Project Overview
A practical Agriculture Victoria guide to soil testing and interpretation
Getting reliable soil test results is one of the most valuable steps you can take to make smarter decisions about fertiliser and pasture management. This resource from Agriculture Victoria explains the key soil properties tested in pasture systems — from soil texture and pH to organic carbon, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur and more — and outlines why these measurements matter when assessing soil fertility and planning nutrient programs.
It also covers what the numbers in a soil test report actually mean and how they relate to pasture performance. Whether you’re fine‑tuning fertiliser inputs or working to improve soil health, this guide helps demystify soil testing for pastures.
