Description: The compaction of soils is basically a reduction in volume of a given mass of soil. Compaction may be expressed as a change in bulk density, void ratio or porosity. Many of the soil properties such as hydraulic conductivity and liquid and vapor diffusion are affected by compaction so that the outcome is generally a reduction of crop yields. Gill (1956) stated that the annual loss in the United States of America due to soil compaction is $1.18 billion, which results from decreasing yields and in creased expenditures for energy for field tillage. Soane (1970) states that
