If you have a pasture that borders a dense treeline, there's a good chance there are roots working their way into the soil where you are planting. Subsoiling can help to rip the roots that have worked their way in to keep the treeline in check and prevent them from robbing moisture from the pasture.

What is the purpose of subsoiling?

Generally speaking, subsoiling every 2-3 years is recommended to benefit soils, keep hardpans from developing and enhance plant growth/survival in food plots. A few areas that inevitably have soil compaction and benefit from subsoiling are logging decks and logging roads.

What is the use of subsoiler in agriculture?

The subsoiler is so named because it cuts and loosens soil below the normal tillage depth of 100–200 mm. Its shape is similar to the chisel plow except that it is made with a stronger shank or leg in order to resist the higher force required to till soil at greater depth.
