Canola plant growth and grain yield were increased significantly as a result of deep ripping in acidic yellow deep sand.

On compacted and acidic yellow sand the combination of lime with appropriate deep tillage will potentially minimise multiple soil constraints and offer better return on investment in the longer term.
