Soils of the Rutherglen Research Institute Extension
A soil survey of the extension to the Rutherglen Research Institute was undertaken in 1985. A grid-survey method was used and 80 augered holes to a depth of 120 cm were located and described. Six mapping units, each with a dominant soil group were delineated at a scale of 1:10,000. This report "Soils of the Rutherglen Research Institute Extension - Technical Report Series No. 110", conducted by M. P. Imhof and J. M. Maher of the former Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs in 1985, describes the survey.
