Abstract

• Canola plant growth and grain yield were increased significantly as a result of deep ripping in acidic yellow deep sand.
• Consider alleviating subsoil compaction to improve soil productivity and crop yield while ameliorating acidic yellow sand with lime.
• On compacted and acidic yellow sand the combination of lime with appropriate deep tillage will potentially minimise multiple soil constraints and offer better return on investment in the longer term.
