Schneider F., Don A., Hennings I., Schmittmann O., Seidel S. (2017.0). The effect of deep tillage on crop yield – What do we really know?. Soil and Tillage Research, 174(), 193-204. doi:10.1016/j.still.2017.07.005

The subsoil below the regularly tilled topsoil stores large nutrient stocks and can retain water even under drought conditions. Mechanical soil profile modifications, commonly referred to as deep tillage, could improve the plant availability of these subsoil resources. However, field studies on the …

Previous studies have shown that deep tillage, so-called subsoiling, is beneficial for yield development, and that tillage of deeper soil layers can promote water and nutrient availability during dry periods. The application of composts to the topsoil has been widely studied and evaluated, and it ha…
