To quantify the yield limitation caused by subsoil acidity and evaluate innovative soil amendments to address subsoil acidity.
• Acidic subsoils are common in the Riverine Plains region.
• Previous trials have shown deep placement of amendments can improve wheat and canola production.
• Replicated field trials have been established near Rutherglen, Victoria to test innovative methods to address subsoil acidity in the Riverine Plains region.
• A large-scale on-farm site near Rutherglen is planned for 2018.
