Deep Plowing Improves Water Intake On Texas Highlands
Texas Agricultural Extension Service reports deep plowing on highland soils near Amarillo increases water intake by about 29 percent in Tookland plots, with studies noting more permeable surface soil and slower deeper layers. Trials at Bushland Experiment Station show enduring benefits after three years, though improvements may fade without continued care. Researchers also tested trenching and alternate treatments to boost moisture uptake, while Lynn Pittard resigns to join American Humates Co. as distributor.
