Abstract
Key points
Understanding and care are required to set up a mouldboard plough for effective soil inversion to manage weeds or water-repellent soil
Mouldboard ploughing at speeds of 10km/h or more can result in topsoil being thrown too far across the furrow and reduce depth of topsoil burial
Use of skimmers on a mouldboard improves the inversion effectiveness, with more of the topsoil being buried at 100 to 200mm depth, leaving less in the top 100mm.
