Multivariate analysis of a red latosol compaction cultivated with corn
01/Jun/2008
Agricultural soils under no tillage systems are affected by soil compaction caused by machinery traffic, which can restrict root growth and reduce crop yields. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different compaction levels on the physical quality of a Red Latosol (Oxisol), sandy-loam, in the Jaboticabal county, São Paulo state, Brazil, under corn, using multivariate analysis. The experimental design was completely randomized with six compaction levels and four repetitions. Undisturbed soil samples were collected in […]
