Aims
  • To look at some agronomic solutions to waterlogging.
Key messages
  • No significant yield difference between treatments in WL trial in first year.
  • Redox potential affects availability of nutrients and was dependent on soil moisture.
  • Redox potential higher for the lime treatment which should mean better conditions for plant growth.
  • Commercial varieties used showed little variation in waterlogging tolerance.
