as featured above, has been showing promise for early establishment and crop vigor. Is having a strong tap- rooted species to aid in mitigating subsoil compaction (Research from USA) while a fibrous root system species to aid in surface compaction, soil structure and increase soil organic matter in the top 30cm an advantage? While there are many questions being asked and hopefully potential solutions discussed, I believe there will be answers in time to help alleviate the issues associated around the operation of heavier machinery in our farming systems, while trying to increase long-term farming sustainability. I also strongly believe that there is a time and place in our farming systems to combine and utilise all potential options listed previously to increase profitability and sustainability. We just need to work on the processes and adoptability of each for the varying
management practices surrounding irrigation farming systems. There are a variety of excellent mechanical tools on the market today that have been designed to combat compaction in soils and one such machine available now to growers is the range of Rippers from K-Line Ag. K-Line Ag’s range of deep Rippers are designed to shatter sub-soil compaction with minimal disturbance to the upper or surface layers of the soil, efficiently combatting your compaction issues. K-Line Ag’s deep Rippers can benefit plant growth while creating excellent opportunities for an even crop and high yields. Although there is no magic silver bullet to compaction issues and no single solution that covers all compaction requirements alone, with careful management, strategic planning and the right equipment, growers can mitigate these issues and better manage compaction for greater profits and environmental benefits.
