Since both the spatial and vertical heterogeneities in soil properties have an impact on crop
growth and yield, accurate characterization of soil properties at high sampling resolution is a …

Spatially variable soil compaction often causes inconsistent growing conditions in many
fields. Various soil compaction sensor systems have been deployed to obtain georeferenced …

The spatial variation of productivity across farm fields can be classified by delineating site‐
specific management zones. Since productivity is influenced by soil characteristics, the …

As the size and weight of agricultural equipment have increased significantly in the past few
decades, the severity and depth of compacted zone may have increased proportionately …

During the early 1990s, declining cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) yields plagued farmers in
the TennesseeValley Region of North Alabama who tried to eliminate moldboard and/or …

Soil compaction has reduced crop yield under continuous no-tillage systems (NTS), and
occasional tillage has been suggested as a mitigating measure. The aim of this study was to …

Studies on soil strength and rooting characteristics of crops are important for water and
nutrient budgeting and also for deciding the adoption of suitable soil management practice …

Compacted soil hardpans restrict crop growth by limiting root access to moisture and
nutrients in the subsoil. Mechanically disrupting this hardpan profile is necessary in many …

Soil compaction can restrict root growth and water infiltration, resulting in yield reduction.
Maps of yield monitordata aid in visualization of variations in yield, without identifying …
