Subsoil nutrition on clay spread soil locations
Aims

To investigate potential long term negative effects on crop yield of interactions between clay spreading or delving with subsoil nutrition (micronutrients).

Key messages
  • Incorporating clay that has high calcium carbonate (lime) content has potential to cause extreme manganese deficiency although this can be addressed with addition of micronutrient fertiliser either shallow or deep.
