Abstract

The effect of subsoiling has been the subject of much investigation. However, most of the investigations have been concerned with crop yield relationships. In only a few instances have attempts been made to find the reason for yield differences that sometimes have occurred. This experiment was designed to study the effects of subsoiling a particular soil type of water runoff, soil moisture relationships, root distribution and crop yield. By comparing results of the effects of subsoiling some conclusions may be reached that will aid in the evaluation of subsoiling.
