The Australian Cotton Cooperative Research Centre in association with the Cotton Research and Development Cooperation have funded a number of soil inventory projects which have produced enormous amount of soil data. The data have been incorporated into a queriable database using the Microsoft Access. Customised operations built into a Database Assistant enable variable queries to answer various soil quality questions that may be asked by researchers, farm managers, consultants and farmers, in retrieving appropriate soil data and information for a specific region/area and purpose. The soil data are geo-referenced and therefore are amenable to further Geographical Information System analysis
