Abstract
Many farmers believe that increasing the speed of cultivation and seeding implements will cause deterioration of soils and reduced crop yields.
In a three-year trial on clover ley land at Wongan Hills higher cultivation speeds tended to increase rather than decrease wheat yields. There was some deterioration in the physical structure of the soil.
