Clay addition to sandy soil - effect of clay concentration and ped size on microbial biomass and nutrient dynamics after addition of low C/N ratio residue [PDF]
, 2016 Addition of clay-rich subsoil to sandy soil has been shown to increase crop production on sandy soils. The added clay is present as peds ranging in size from a millimetre to several centimetre.

Grassland Research, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 364-372, December 2024.With frost exposure, DM percentage increased in leaves and panicles, followed by stems, reaching over 40% in 1 month. These increases were positively correlated with cumulative frosting temperature. Our results demonstrate that pearl millet sown in late summer can be processed into low‐moisture round bale silage 1 month after the first frost in January,
