There are two parts to the trial:
• Rate response trial – comparison of three rates of surface-applied lime sand with a control (no lime)
• Novel treatment (rate, incorporation) trial – comparison the effectiveness of high rates of lime and incorporation (using offset discs) to manage sub soil acidity.
The most effective way to increase pH at depth is through incorporation plus higher application rates.
