Agpipe drainage investigation locations
Aims
  • To investigate an agronomic solution to waterlogging through the use of Agpipe.
Key messages
  • In this trial the Agpipe was not effective in the bottom of a gully.
  • Key limitation is likely to be the flow of water through the soil to the agpipe.
  • Agpipe spacing is critical for it to be effective, future trial work should help determine required spacings.
