Abstract
Claying involves adding and incorporating clay-rich subsoil into water repellent topsoil to overcome the repellence. Adding clay-rich soil provides a long-term solution to soil water repellence, and increases soil water holding capacity, reduces wind erosion risk, and may reduce frost risk.
Claying is best suited to medium to high rainfall environments in Western Australia, with higher crop and pasture yield potential.
