Synopsis Subsoiling to 18 inches with and without deep placement of lime, phosphorus, and potassium on a Collington sandy loam soil did not produce significant yield increases of cabbage, tomatoes, and sweet corn over a 7‐year period even in dry years. Residual effects of subsoiling significantly increased water movement into this soil 3 years after the last deep tillage operation.
