Description: When heavy machinery is used intensively in row crop production, the compaction of soil is expected to be considerable. Many researchers have measured density changes in different soil types as a function of applied load and soil moisture content (Sohne 1958 Soane 1970 Chancellor 1971). In addition, the number of passes of a machine and the wheelslip have been found to influence compaction (Davies et al. 1973 Raghavan et al. 1975, 1976). But the consequences of soil density changes with respect to crop yields comprise the primary consideration for agricultural production. And, while numerous studies have been made on compacted soil properties as they affect root penetration and air and water availability to plants (Weaver and Crist 1922 Lemon and Erickson 1952 Taubenhaus et al. 1961 Huck et al. 1975), very few experiments have combined the knowledge of soil mechanics and agronomy to describe the exact crop yields to be expected as a function of particular machinery sizes and traffic programs. Several demonstrations have been carried out to show that density variations in topsoil do influence the growth of plants in the field. Phillips and Kirkham (1962) and Morris (1975), for example, reported on corn yield reductions of 10 and 22%, respectively, due to compaction. Saini and Lantagne (1974) measured reduced yields in potatoes of up to 22% with increases in soil density, and Feldman and Domier (1970) observed reduced wheat growth after increased machinery traffic.
