Examining a soil pit face to identify at-risk soil
There are no hard and fast rules for diagnosing soil affected by sodicity in semi-arid and higher-rainfall landscapes.
Deep ripping with amendments for yield improvement of sodic soil
The premise behind this trial is that for sustained improvement of soil physical properties, such as increased infiltration rate,...
Options for managing multiple constraints with strategic deep tillage
Comparing strategic deep tillage treatments for managing soil water repellence, subsoil compaction and subsoil acidity.
Comparing soil strategic deep tillage implements
Addressing the range of soil constraints present maximises productivity and profitability in the long-term.
Risks associated with soil tillage
It is important to understand the characteristics of the soil profile and have a plan to minimise the risk...
Setting up mouldboard ploughs to optimise soil inversion
When carried out effectively, soil inversion almost completely eliminates topsoil water repellence, although in cases of complete or poor...
Flow of water repellent topsoil around knife points
Dry-seeding increases the amount of water repellent soil flowing around knife points into the base of the furrow where...
Soil movement during ripping
Deep ripping is used to fracture and loosen hardened soil.
