Abstract | Soil compaction negatively affects soil productivity, fertilizer use efficiency and water infiltration. The extent of compaction is dependant on soil strength, which is influenced by the soil moisture content. The purpose of this study was to determine the extent of soil compaction (measured by changes in soil bulk density and shear strength) and soil deformation incurred due to a single pass of a tractor and a fully loaded slurry tanker over grassland soils at a range of soil moisture deficits (SMD). |
