“…As for tillage depth, small changes can cause large variations in the traction pull required (Bianchini et al, 1999), influencing fuel consumption, power consumption, wear and mechanical damage to tractors and implements (Unger & McCalla, 1981;Souza, Rabelo, Cabacinha, Pinto, & Matos, 2015). However, deep tillage is justified with increased yield by decompaction (Trouse Jr. & Humbert, 1959;Bogunovic, Pereira, Kisic, Sajk, & Sraka, 2018), especially for soils where compacted layers are limiting factors to the full development of crops due to the reduction of the effective depth.…”
