Visual Soil Assessment (VSA)

Wheat

Soil type and the effect of management on the condition of the soil are important determinants of the productive performance of wheat cropping and have profound effects on long term profits. Land managers need reliable, quick and easy to use tools to help them assess the condition of their soils and their suitability for growing crops, and make informed decisions that will lead to sustainable land and environmental management. To this end, the Visual Soil Assessment (VSA) provides a quick and simple method to assess soil condition and plant performance. It can also be used to assess the suitability and limitations of a soil for wheat. Soils with good VSA scores will, by and large, give the best production with the lowest establishment and operational costs.
