“…This study indicated that densification caused by heavy equipment (NT equipment = total load 360 kN) caused stronger changes in the physical properties of the surface soil and under soil than the conventional equipment (CT equipment = total load 121 kN). These results are in agreement with those of [20,28], who showed that the effects of compaction produced by a heavy axle were related to the soil type, the number of passes and the number of years elapsed since the onset of compaction.…”

“…The average tire ground contact pressures were measured with a Tekscan ® pressure sensor (https://www.tekscan.com/) (accessed on 2 December 2021). The tire inflation pressures were afterwards adjusted according to the manufacturer's recommendations for the dynamic load and speed of the corresponding operation [20].…”

“…The counting was done at 11, 15, and 22 days after planting. Furthermore, for the two crops, whole plant quadrats (n = 20) were collected at random locations within the experimental plots, and the samples were used to determine grain yield (GY), expressed in kg ha −1 at 14% moisture content (w/w) [20].…”

Crop establishment depends mostly on the soil preparation and sowing methods used. Our main goal was to evaluate soil compaction and its effects on wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and soybean (Glycine max L.) yields and seedling emergence with two different tillage methods: no-tillage (NT) and conventional tillage (CT). The study was done in the Western Pampas Region during three cropping seasons. The soil of the study site is a Mollisol. The variables measured were: (1) cone index (CI), (2) dry bulk density (DBD), (3) seedling emergence (SE), and (4) crops yield (CY). For both crops, seedling emergence was slower in NT than in CT, but results were similar 22 days after sowing. After 3 years, the results show that in NT the DBD and CI reached values of 1653 kg m−3 and 3210 kPa, respectively (between 275 and 300 mm). While in CT the values of DBD and CI reached were 1540 kg m−3 and 2300 kPa respectively at the same depth. The highest yields were found in CT (3.31 and 4.10 tons/ha−1, for soybean and wheat, respectively) compared to NT (2.91 and 3.53 tons/ha−1). Topsoil horizon has to be tilled to improve crop yields. In spite of the high number of equipment passes in CT, both tillage systems caused subsoil compaction.

“…He attributed the reason for this to be the soil plowing during two periods of soil moisture content difference, where the first period was dry soil and the other was wet soil, and thus during the drying and wetting cycle, this led to an increase in penetration resistance. [11] explained in an experiment conducted to find out the effect of machines on soil compaction compared to normal plowing with no-till cultivation, an increase in the penetration resistance of the soil was found at a depth of 20-25 cm. The so-called plow basin was found, and the amount of soil penetration resistance reached about 2000 kPa, and the reason for this is due to tilling at one depth and for many periods.…”

The field experiment was conducted in the College of Agriculture - University of Basra in Karma Ali located in the south of Basra city. The soil was of a clay-silty texture. The study aims to evaluate the negative impact of primary plowing equipment (moldboard plow, disk plow, and chisel plow) on the physical properties of the soil by studying soil compaction indicators such as soil resistance to penetration, soil bulk density, and total porosity. Three plowing depths (15, 20, and 25) cm and three forward speeds of the tractor (0.45, 0.75, and 1.05) m s-1 were used. Intelligent computing was introduced to predict results and simulate soil compaction through the use of Design Expert software. The results showed that there is an effect of all studied factors on the variables of soil physical properties. The effect on the soil penetration resistance characteristic of the type of plow was greater than the depth, and the depth was greater than the forward speed, as the soil penetration resistance was (4.53, 3.84, and 3.23) MPa for the moldboard plow, disc plow, and chisel plow, respectively. As for the effect of increasing the depth, it was 27%, while the effect of increasing the forward speed was 24%. As for the bulk density of the soil, the effect of the type of plow was also greater than the effect of the increase in depth, and the increase in depth was more effective than the increase in the forward speed, as the bulk density was (1.68, 1.52, and 1.48) g.cm-3 for the moldboard, disc, and chisel, respectively. As for the effect of depth, it reached 7%, while the effect of speed reached 5%. As for the total porosity of the soil, the effect of the plow type was greater than the depth, and the greater the depth than the forward speed, as the total porosity reached (43, 41, and 35) % for the moldboard, disc, and chisel plow, respectively. The increase in depth led to a decrease of 7%, and the increase in velocity led to a decrease of 4% in the index of total soil porosity. As for the predicted results, the amount of convergence between the field calculated and predicted results was (96, 95, 95) % for soil penetration resistance, bulk density, and total soil porosity, respectively.

“…The total area of a field over which the compaction is applied is determined by the intensity of farming traffic (Kroulik et al, 2009), which, in turn, depends on crop and agronomic practices (Botta et al, 2022).…”

This chapter examines the relationship between agricultural traffic and soil compaction. It begins by reviewing research on how agricultural traffic affects soil compaction as well as ways of measuring soil compaction and its effects. It then discusses a range of potential techniques to avoid soil compaction. These include: controlled-traffic farming, low ground pressure tyre systems as well as tracks and gantry systems. The chapter also discusses the relationship between different tillage practices and soil compaction. It includes a case study based on research conducted by the authors.
