A statistical basis for selecting parameters for the evaluation of soil penetration resistance

Abstract: Measurements of soil penetration resistance (SR) have been frequently used for the evaluation of soil structural quality for plant growth. However, different data analysis approaches have been used, without a previous evaluation of their statistical quality. In this study we tested the hypothesis that the mean is the parameter with best statistical properties to evaluate alterations in soil penetration resistance in response to soil use and management, as compared to other SR statistical parameters.

“…The PR of each layer was represented by the mean value, as suggested by Leão & Silva (2006). The establishment of these layers does not introduce effects by granulometric differences, because the texture of the entire soil layer considered in this study (0-28.5 cm) is homogeneous (150 g kg -1 of clay, 238 g kg -1 of silt and 612 g kg -1 of sand).…”

“…The mean, maximum and median were the statistics that identified soil use and management effects on PR most clearly by variance analysis in the study of Leão & Silva (2006). These authors suggested the use of means as the most appropriate statistic to represent a soil sample and the effects of soil use and management.…”

“…While Bowen et al (1994) identified critical values that ranges between 0.9 and 1.5 MPa for root growth, soils possessing a PR closer to 2.0 MPa were classified as having excessive compaction (Leao and Silva, 2006). Such compaction influences roots penetration through the soil (Chan et al, 2006;Hakansson and Lipiec, 2000;Hamza and Anderson, 2005), favors run-off and the accumulation of water on the surface due to a reduced number of porous spaces and the formation of a relatively impermeable surface layer (Islam et al, 2011;Gómez-Rodríguez et al, 2013).…”
