Effect of Tillage Machinery Traffic on Soil Properties, Corn Root Development and Plant Growth

Tillage traffic is one of the major problems facing modern agriculture. Overuse of machinery, intensive cropping, and short crop rotations, intensive grazing and inappropriate soil management leads to soil compaction. This experiment was conducted on a clay loam soil to study the effect of tillage machinery traffic (TMT) on soil properties, corn root development and plant growth. Tillage machinery (TM) used in experiment was wheel tractor (TW), crawler tractor (TC), and a no compaction (C). The results showed highly significant differences bet ween treatments. The data on final emergence count did not show significant differences between treatment means when tested at
