Nitrogen management following deep ripping of soil – WA (Video)
In this video, from the Soil Quality Knowledge Base, Richard Quinlan explains how deep ripping of sandplain and loamy soils can increase yield of cereals by 20 to 40 percent. This is partly due to a 15% increase in the efficiency of applied nitrogen fertiliser. Advice on farming practices to achieve this are provided. While the content focuses on Western Australia, the information may be applicable to other Australian regions [3:40].#
