Wheat grain yield 2013 season Also: Grain yield MBP 11% Grain yield MBP + Lime 18% Grain protein 1-1.5% higher Screenings % lower Kernel weight 1-3 mg heavier Treatments applied once only in 2007

Barley grain yield 2014 season Whole site deep ripped 2014 Grain yield response: MBP or Lime 12% MBP & Lime 38% Paddock average 3.1 t/ha

Grizzly deep digger Incorporation depth = cm

Grizzly offsets vs Spader OFFSETS Depth = cm SPADER Depth = cm

Modified blade plough Incorporation Depth = cm Incorporation depth of other options Regular deep ripping, standard offsets = cm

Supporting your success Modified One-way plough Untreated = 6.6 OWP = 3.3 MED

1)Know your pH profile to depth 2)Have a strategy top apply enough lime to fix & maintain the pH profile 3)Assess whether the soil will be responsive to cultivation 4)Other constraints - water repellence, compaction, weeds? 5)Undecided about incorporation method? – keep liming! 6)Variable rate apply lime to major soil types if warranted Incorporation or More Lime? Fix the top… Line things up… Fix the bottom
