2 Mixing Burial of surface layer Should soil mixing guide my choice of implement ? Loosening soil Seedbed

3 Measuring soil mixing required a new method. 1 2 34

4 Redistribution of soil by tillage implements

5 Colour blobs can be used to measure mixing efficiency. Low mixing efficiency High mixing efficiency

6 Inverted soils were equally mixed (patchy).

7 More samples are required for a reliable pH mean after soil inversion.

8 Control Rotary spader Mouldboard plough

9 A model to predict soil profiles after inversion and lime or clay application.
