West Kendenup, WA
Aims
To measure the effect of deep ripping on depth to free water (waterlogging) and the associated yield response of canola (2018) and wheat (2019) after deep ripping on this soil type.
Key messages
Deep ripping did not affect depth to free water in 2018 or 2019; however these were decile 2 and decile 1 growing seasons at Kendenup West.
Yield data was limited; however deep ripping may have produced a cultivation effect that slightly increased yield.
Deep ripping is unlikely to be a reliable management option for waterlogging in forest gravel soil.
