FarmLink’s role is to establish two paddock scale replicated experiments to –
• Increase awareness of subsoil acidity, and
• Demonstrate effectiveness of innovative technology to ameliorate and/or prevent subsoil acidity on a farm scale
Key messages
This trial is a large-scale experiment, the data collected provides an indication of treatment effects and demonstrates benefits and pitfalls of adopting these subsoil acidity management methods on a large-scale. The small plot trials are more accurate and provided detailed statistical analysis of the impact of different treatments.
Further years of research and analysis from this site and other sites will confirm these findings.
