The document summarizes a study on the effects of subsoiling on soil density and yield in an experimental field in Belgium with heavily compacted subsoil. In the study, two strips were subsoiled in September 2019 using a subsoiler to break up the compacted layer below the tillage pan. The subsoiled strips showed reduced soil penetration resistance down to 40 cm and a non-significantly higher winter wheat grain yield of 0.5 tons/ha compared to non-subsoiled strips. While subsoiling had positive effects, it should be done cautiously as it may disrupt soil structure in wet conditions.
The document provides an overview of strip till systems, including definitions, advantages over no-till and mulch till, operational goals, and standard equipment configurations. Key points include: Strip till disturbs 30% or less of the row width, providing erosion control and moisture conservation benefits over mulch till. Producers aim to complete tasks in fewer passes to save time and fuel while maintaining or reducing input costs. Standard strip till equipment includes coulters, residue managers, shanks, knives, disc hillers, and optional baskets.
