German researchers show that manually created vertical macropores help crop roots bypass compacted subsoil, boosting grain ...

Regardless of what you’re growing, spring is an exciting time of year. But it doesn’t come without challenges. Compaction can lead to wet soil that makes it difficult to get in your fields on time for ...

Locus Agriculture is expanding the use of Unpac®, its glycolipid-based soil conditioner, across row and specialty crop production systems where soil compaction and restricted water movement can limit ...

Strategic equipment management is one valuable way to protect soil structure and preserve yield potential when wet conditions ...

Muju Earth Technologies has developed a deceptively simply pod that can save farmers money while improving crop yields.

What we lacked in moisture this spring, we have certainly made up for in the last 60 days, leading to badly rutted up fields ...

Heavy machinery in the field can compress the soil, which can affect both plant growth and environmental conditions. However, it is important to know the difference between soil compaction in the ...

Soil compaction in forest ecosystems arises chiefly from the passage of heavy machinery during harvesting, thinning and other management operations. Increased load on the soil surface compresses pore ...

Soil compaction arises when external pressures—often from heavy machinery, livestock trampling or repeated field traffic—exceed a soil’s capacity to recover its pore network, leading to increased bulk ...

Fixing or recovering from soil compaction can take years and prove costly to your operation. But as Albert Einstein once quipped, “Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them.” While we can’t ...
