Abstract
The early results of this project showed great potential in improving soil structure and crop productivity in sodic subsoils using deep placement of organic and inorganic amendments.The increases resulted from improvement in the physical and chemical properties of the clay soil volume around the rip line containing the organic and inorganic amendments, and from increased root growth through the subsurface soil layers adjacent to the rip lines. This improvement was possibly mediated by increased microbial activity that leads to improved soil aggregation.
