Abstract
Three soil pits were excavated on the Garabaldi Farm, adjacent to the Daly River, in a toposequence from higher land to near river level. Sampling was done after a particularly wet, wet season and the lowest pit had a water table at 50 cm depth. Land use was for production of fodder using a centre pivot irrigator for water supply in dry season. Post wet season growth had just been cut at the time of sampling.
The soil and landform were described and sampled by the Department Natural Resources, Environment the Arts and Sport. Soil profile information and soil chemistry, particle size and additional bulk density results is stored in the Northern Territory Soil and Land Information System (SALInfo).,
