To look at the interaction of lime rate and cultivation in changing subsoil pH.
Key messages
There were no significant differences between cultivation treatments at the Martin site. There was a significant effect from lime applied, as expected. There is an interesting trend of increasing pH over the 3 years in the limed treatments, suggesting that the lime applied in 2013 is still acting to reduce soil acidity after three years.
There were no significant differences between cultivation treatments at any depth in either year at the Brown site.
There were no significant differences between cultivation treatments at any depth at the McAlpine site.
