Aims:
To investigate the effect of deep ripping and gypsum on root and plant growth of wheat, canola and lentils.
Aims:
Two experiments were conducted as a follow-up to previous SFS trials, to test whether deep ripping with various organic amendments could lead to water storage deep in the soil profile and therefore extra water provision during grain fill.
Aims:
Experiments were conducted on two different soil types to test if (a) amelioration of these subsoils with a mix of gypsum and organic peat would increase the ability of the soil to hold more ‘plant available’ water and (b) if this extra water availability, would assist crops to achieve a better yield.
