Abstract
Key points
Field measurement of how various tillage implements relocate soil vertically, laterally and along the direction of travel can inform how effective the implement is at mixing or inverting the soil and suitability for soil amelioration
Implements which create the highest level of mixing are better suited to incorporating an immobile soil amendment, such as lime
Implements which do a more thorough job of deep inversion are better suited to burying water-repellent topsoil and weed seeds
