Management considerations
Strong texture contrast between the surface soil and the subsoil is a very important soil feature and may have an impact upon the permeability. Acidic surface soils and conspicuously bleached A2 horizons are other key topsoil features. Mottled subsoils are common and are an indication of periodic waterlogging. Improved drainage and the application of gypsum to improve structure and permeability may reduce the incidence of waterlogging while increasing organic matter and maintaining vegetative cover is also important.
