Abstract
Take home messages:
Consistent first-year yield responses to deep ripping have been measured on Victorian Mallee sandy soils, with yield benefits commonly 0.5 to 1.0 t/ha in the first season following deep ripping.
Short-term yield responses to deep ripping in the dry years tested have not beenimproved through additional inputs of fertiliser or organic matter (OM) on sandy soils in the Victorian Mallee.
There are opportunities to optimise tine spacing, power requirements and operating costs of ripping and inclusion operations, through improving our understanding of the interactionbetween soil loosening, shank design and working depth.
