Synopsis Subsoiling to 16 and 24 inches depth did not increase corn yields in Iowa during 1955, 1956, and 1957. In Illinois, Subsoiling to 12 and 18 inches depth produced a significant corn yield response at the lower depth in only 2 out of 14 experiments in 1955 and 1956. Fertilizer placed deep in the subsoiled channel was not as effective as fertilizer plowed under in the Iowa experiments.
