In 2015 the Grains Research and Development Corporation co-funded a major project to investigate management of subsoil acidity. The project explores innovative technology to deliver novel soil amendments directly into the subsoil (10-30 cm). Treatments trialled to ameliorate acidity include calcium nitrate and magnesium silicate, lucerne pellets as well as lime.
The project produced 25 publications which you can access below.
