Abstract:Soil structure dynamics during a season depend on management practices and environmental factors. A lightweight autonomous robot (total mass: 3300–4100 kg, wheel load: 700–1200 kg, contact areas: 0.125 m2, inflation pressures: 60–280 kPa) was used for sowing (October 2021) and weeding (May 2022) operations on an annually plowed sandy loam field. We took 579 cm3 soil cores at 10‐ to 18‐cm depth in the crop area and wheel tracks before and after the operations to assess the impact from traffic and the potential … Show more
