Abstract

Results of investigations into the fertility status of granitic soils in the wet tropical coast of Queensland are presented. The previously recognised infertility of these soils is confirmed with the recording of phosphorus, copper, zinc, potassium, sulphur, and calcium deficiencies. Phosphorus is the most important deficiency. If this element is not applied, permanent pastures cannot be established. Copper, potassium, and zinc deficiencies are also very widespread.
