  Growers in Western Australia have widely adopted mechanical soil amelioration and liming to manage subsoil constraints like acidity, compaction, water repellence and herbicide-resistant weeds. Common mechanical soil amelioration techniques include soil mixing, (e.g. ripping and spading), soil inversion (e.g. mouldboarding or one-way plough) and dee...
