What is subsoiling?

Subsoiling is a technique commonly used to alleviate the adverse effects of soil compaction and improve soil physical condition, in both cropping and pastoral agriculture. In ideal conditions, subsoiling should break up the soil at depth and produce vertical cracks through the whole soil profile. Subsoiling is defined as non-inversion tillage below a depth of 14 inches.

How is subsoiling done?

Breaking the hardpan layer of the soil is often referred to as “subsoiling,”. The process is done to break up the soil up to depths of two feet and waste layers of compacted soil letting water and roots to enter it. Multiple implements can be used for subsoiling such as a chisel plough also commonly known as a “subsoiler”

Why is subsoiling done?

After forestry tilling subsoiling is used to grinding the stumps and roots and turning it into organic material to the land to be able to disc and plant immediately. Subsoiling creates larger pores that increase rooting and infiltration. The benefits of subsoiling depend upon many factors including soil type and soil management.
