Soil compaction has been identified as one of the main factors causing yield reduction of several crops. The use of the load carrying capacity models to identify management techniques which leads to alterations on soil density is a proven and consolidated methodology. This study was carried out to: a) generate load carrying capacity models for different uses and managements of an Oxisol; b) identify the land use or management that is most susceptible or most resistant to compaction by these […]
