Aims:
To investigate a spader machine for lime incorporation.
Aims:
The spader trials were set up at several sites ranging from 0.5 ha to whole paddocks. The growers wanted
the spader to incorporate clay, lime and/or organic matter, or just improve the friability of the soil.
Aims:
This project will provide information on within-paddock variation in soil pH and related soil properties, in different regions of the High Rainfall Zone (HRZ). To do this, we will map the horizontal and vertical variations in soil pH across 10 cropping paddocks in the Victorian HRZ. This will demonstrate to farmers how soil pH varies spatially… read more

Aims:
To identify whether there is an advantage in using deep ripping or shallow cultivation compared to direct drill to improve the ability of crops to utilize soil water at depth.
Aims:
To identify whether deep ripping and other soil treatments will result in an increase in spring water use by crops and therefore increased yields and improved grain quality.
