Reduce Subsoil Compaction and
Stimulate Soil Biology

The problem of diminished soil health:

Degraded soil and desertification, commonly referred to as reduced soil health, provide a challenge to millions of farmers globally.
It involves compacted subsoil and subsequently the deficiency of beneficial soil life. 

This problem is devastating to both irrigation and dryland conditions, resulting in reduced production potential and profitability.

Diminished Soil Health Challenges

As a farmer, you will recognise the many challenges of diminished soil health:

  • Subsoil compaction
  • Lack of soil biology 
  • Poor water infiltration / Waterlogged soil / Run-off
  • Anaerobic conditions
  • Poor root development (shallow and J-roots)
  • Nutrient deficiency / Poor soil fertility
  • Low soil carbon levels
  • Increasing chemical input costs
  • Fertilizer losses through leaching or fixation
  • Root diseases

Is your farm’s soil degraded?

  • Use Ca:Mg/SAR/EC values on your soil and water analysis to assess the degree of soil degradation.
  • Use a handheld compaction meter - penetrometer - to measure soil compaction levels at different depths.
  • Look out for signs of water-logged soils and water run-off.
  • An earthworm count can reveal soil biological activity.
  • Or speak to a soil expert for a farm visit.
