Value of inclusion plates for slotting lime into subsoil over deep ripping alone on north Hyden sandy loams: 1st year results (2017), Kwinana East locations
Aims
  • To evaluate the benefit of deep ripping on two different compacted sandy loams with varying subsoil acidity.
  • To evaluate the value of inclusion plates in slotting lime to the subsoil
  • Evaluate the longevity of the response and returns over multiple seasons and crop rotations
Key messages
  • Compaction is a subsoil constraint in North Hyden sandy soils.
  • The first year of results indicate that deep ripping can be profitable in these soil types in North Hyden.
  • The site variation and the design of the demonstration highlighted the response is not guaranteed; more investigation is required to identify why certain parts of the demonstration were more responsive than others to deep ripping and how to map and identify soils responsive to deep ripping.
