Abstract

• Crop growth and grain yield were increased consecutively for 2 years as a result of deep ripping in yellow deep sand with multiple constraints.
• Consider alleviating subsoil compaction to improve soil productivity and crop yield while ameliorating acidic yellow sand with limesand.
• On compacted and acidic yellow sand the combination of lime sand with appropriate deep tillage will potentially minimise multiple soil constraints.
