Soil Compaction

Page 1 of 9

The economic basis for ameliorating soil compaction is strongest where the employment of management practices that support the natural repair of soil structure is possible, such as stubble retention to increase organic matter or incorporating deep rooted crop species in rotation. One of the factors against the adoption of management practices that support natural repair methods such as zero-tillage, stubble cover, controlled traffic on soil compaction is the length of time sometimes required for responses to be observed.
