“…The soil depth of 10 cm is not suitable for soil compaction evaluation because it is near uncultivated soil layers ( Figure 16 ). In [ 43 , 44 ], soil compaction due to tractor traffic measuring of the vertical penetrometer resistance was studied. The mean values of this parameter showed an increase in soil compaction after tractor passes.…”

“…It allows practical evaluation of soil mechanical properties within and outside the tire track along the field based on the on-the-go principle. The soil properties within the tire track were theoretically and practically researched by many authors [ 8 , 10 , 17 , 43 , 44 , 47 ]. The pressure acting on the soil can be theoretically calculated from the tire contact area and load acting on the wheel.…”

Worldwide, agricultural land is a dominant part of the environment. It is very important to understand the physical properties of soil because they directly or indirectly affect the entire human population. This paper proposes a data acquisition system for an original design of the soil resistance force sensor (SRFS). It serves to evaluate the properties of soil affected and unaffected by tractor passages through the field. The SRSF uses two cutting blades to measure soil mechanical resistance within the tire track and outside the tire track. The proposed system consists of two load cells, datalogger, power supply and software for personal computers. The system was practically tested under field operation. The results showed significant differences between the soil resistance force measured outside the tire track and within the tire track after one, two and three tractor passages. The data were compared with penetrometer resistance and soil bulk density, standardly characterizing soil mechanical resistance. An increase of soil resistance force after one, two and three tractor passages corresponded with an increase in reference parameters. The results showed that the proposed system is suitable for practical applications to evaluate soil mechanical resistance using SRFS.

“…Soil compaction represents one of the most significant destructive factors of agricultural soils. It has been shown that an increase in stress levels with higher bulk density and mechanical penetration resistance, and a decrease in soil hydraulic conductivity resulted in decreased root elongation rates and consequently prolonged the time required for roots to reach a certain soil depth (Galambošová et al, 2020). Appropriate amount of organic matter in soil is one of the factors in preventing soil compaction (Mosaddeghi et al, 2000).…”

The advancement of technology and increasing use of mechanization in agriculture, as well as increasing size of agricultural machinery for farm capacity improvement, have led to soil compaction. In developed countries, various reports of the soil compaction impacts on the reduction of agricultural products have been provided. In developing countries, soil compaction represents a less-known issue and a its destructive nature in agriculture has not been sufficiently addressed. Furthermore, in developed countries, the soil is rich in organic matter due to conservation tillage; however, in Iran, conservation tillage is not possible to perform because of traditional agriculture and using old agricultural machinery. Therefore, plant residues are either removed from fields, or burned. However, sufficient content of organic matter in field can contribute to soil compaction mitigation. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of percentage of crop residues and their size on soil compaction at different soil moisture contents. For these purposes, five different soil moisture contents (8, 10, 12, 14 and 16% based on dry soil weight) and 4 residue rates at 3 fragmentation sizes were observed in terms of soil compaction. At all different soil moisture contents and residue sizes, with increasing percentage of added straw to the soil, the soil displacement increased. Moreover, as the straw size increased, the initial displacement during compression decreased, e.g., the maximum displacements for straw percentage of 12% and soil moisture of 8% were 64, 62 and 60 mm considering the straw sizes of 1, 2.5 and 5 cm, respectively. With high residue percentage, the final soil density and soil compaction were lower due to the low specific density of straw relative to soil. Furthermore, with high percentage of straw, more deformations and displacements were occurred in the mixture due to large deformation of straws. The density changes of soil-straw mixture were more significant at high residue percentages.

“…When using agricultural machinery with different working widths, majority of fertile soil (approx. 75%) is subjected to unfavourable impacts of the tractor and machinery wheels (Barwicki et al, 2012;Chen et al, 2010;Isbisteret al 2013;Galambošová et al, 2020). Controlled traffic farming confines all machinery loads to the least possible area of permanent traffic lanes.…”

Movement of bridge agricultural equipment along the permanent traffic lanes is characterised by significant energy costs for overcoming the rolling resistance forces. Until now, the movement process of bridge agricultural equipment wheels along the compacted soil of permanent traffic lanes has been paid only a little attention. It has been established that the physical and mechanical properties of soil lanes significantly affect the energy consumption necessary for overcoming the rolling resistance of forces of bridge agricultural equipment wheels. Considering the range of possible changes in these properties, the coefficient of rolling resistance of equipment wheels varies from 0.06 to 0.1, which is 66%. In order to reduce the rolling resistance coefficient of equipment wheels when moving along the permanent traffic lanes, the surface needs to be undeformable. When moving along such a solid and dense supporting surface, the wheel rolling resistance is lowest.
