“…Raghavan et al (1979a) observed a corn yield reduction of 40-50 percent in plots with higher wheel contact pressures and multiple wheel passes. Similarly, corn yield reductions of up to 50 percent were reported in heavily compacted soils by Raghavan et al (1979d) and Raghavan et al (1977). Negi et al (1980) recorded undersirable changes in soil density and crop growth due to machinery traffic.…”

“…The corresponding values for loam soils were 86 and 94 percent respectively. Raghavan et al (1979d) observed dry plant yields of 10,500, 12,500 and 9350 kg/ha for zero traffic, moderately compacted and heavily compacted plots respectively.…”

“…Seeding in wheel tracks often resulted in inadequate depth giving poor establishment and yields (Soane et al, 1982); whereas Chancellor (1976) reported that in dry weather, seedling emergence was superior in wheel tracks. and Raghavan et al (1979cRaghavan et al ( , 1979d studied the effect of wheel traffic on emergence in two contrasting seasons. In the first (wet) season, emergence was delayed by five to eight days in heavily compacted plots, due to higher moisture content and consequently lower temperature of surface soil in the compacted plots.…”

“…Raghavan et al (1979) reported positive relationships between increasing soil density and root diseases. Edwards (1988) observed a significantly greater (55%) disease severity in barley at the foot of sloping fields in Prince Edward Island (PEI) than at the top, attributable to a 30% lower hydraulic conductivity at footslope than at top-slope in those fields.…”

Fifty sloping fields of barley with different short-term cropping histories across Prince Edward Island were examined for variations in root-zone depth and the severity of soil parasitic nematodes as part of a wider study of relationships between cropping sequence, topographic position, soil physical conditions and crop performance. Root lesion nematode (Pratylenchus penetrans) density in the roots was significantly greater (13%) at foot slopes than at top slopes, and stunt nematode (Tylenchorhynchus spp.) 'was significantly greater (8%) at top slopes where the soil was drier. The density of stunt nematodes and root lesion nematodes in the soil was significantly greater (>15%) under miscellaneous cereals-barley sequences than under potato-barley or hay-barley, attributable to level of carryover. Root lesion nematode density in the roots was significantly greater (12%) under hay-barley than either of the other two sequences. This nematode also showed a strong tendency to increase in number with increasing root-zone depth, and may be explained on the basis that increased root-zone depth provides increased host root mass (substrate). Stunt nematodes, on the other hand, increased with decreasing root-zone depth and may be explained by the known propensity of these organisms for drier, shallower soil conditions.
