Question 1

What is a subsoiler used for?

Accepted Answer

A subsoiler breaks through the hard pan (plow sole) layer formed by repeated plowing, working the soil to a depth of 45 cm. It allows rainwater to penetrate lower soil layers, prevents root rot, aerates the soil and increases yield.

Question 2

How often should a subsoiler be used?

Accepted Answer

Subsoiling is generally recommended every 3-4 years. This increases microbial activity in the soil, prevents erosion, and ensures maximum harvest yield.

Question 3

What is the difference between AYERMAK subsoiler models?

Accepted Answer

AYERMAK P-5000, P-7000 and P-9000 models offer 5, 7 and 9 shank options respectively. More shanks mean wider working width. You can choose the suitable model based on your tractor power and field size.

Question 4

What is the effect of subsoiling on soil productivity?

Accepted Answer

Subsoiling tears through compacted soil to aerate it. This allows roots to reach deeper, increases water-holding capacity, and preserves moisture during drought. It prevents soil cracking and protects against erosion.

Question 5

What is the minimum tractor HP required for a subsoiler?

Accepted Answer

The AYERMAK P-5000 requires minimum 90 HP, P-7000 requires minimum 110 HP, and P-9000 requires minimum 130 HP tractor power. These values may vary depending on soil structure.
