“…Thus, subsoiling could be required to decrease soil density (Marasca, Lemos, Silva, Guerra, & Lanças, 2015; Souza, Souza, Cooper, & Tormena, 2015). In Red Latosol, with clayey texture the subsoiling positively affected rice yield (Pinheiro, Stone, & Barrigossi, 2016), in red‐yellow latosol with sandy texture, there was a decrease in PR values caused by the subsoiling equipment's rod action (Gonçalves, Lopes, Cavalieri‐Polizeli, Fiedler, & Stahl, 2019). The subsoiling in clay soil, improves the physical properties of soil, reduces root density in surface soil, and increases deep root growth, which alleviates root crowding in the upper soil layer and enhances water and nutrient absorption in the deeper soil layer of maize plants (Sun et al., 2017).…”
