The last of the Soils Knowledge case studies is complete!
This was a trial to assess if deep ripping can aid in mitigating constraints in the 0-30cm zone of the soil profile and help move soil amendments into the sub-soil zone in medium rainfall zones on a clay soil type.
Location: Melrose
Soil Type: Red Clay Loam
Constraints: Acid throttle, sodicity, salinity and sub-soil compaction
Treatments: Ripping (30, 60 cm +/- incorporation), lime, gypsum, compos
