Aims
  • To test the performance of a range of subsoil amendments.
Key messages
  • Deep ripping with deep nutrients was the most effective subsoil amendment in the field in 2006 and glasshouse in 2007.
  • Deep ripping increased the amount of soil water deeper in the profile, but subsoil treatments did not affect soil water quality properties in this soil.
