REPEATED TRAFFIC OVER THE SAME TRACK: EFFECT ON THE PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF A TYPIC ARGIUDOLL
Keywords:
soil compaction, penetration resistance, dry matter yield, infiltrationAbstract
With the increase in machinery mass and repeated traffic, compaction problems have arised. In addition, plots are frequently trafficked in conditions of low bearing capacity, generating a significant compaction of the superficial soil (tracks). A trial was carried out to determine the influence of the number of passes and soil moisture during transit on soil compaction. Tractor passes (1, 3 and 10) were done with the soil at two moisture contents (34% = wet and 24% = partially dry). Track depth, gravimetric moisture content, penetration resistance, and dry matter production were measured on a natural grassland at two moments: initial (24 h after a rainfall event) and final (when the soil PS). Additionally, hydraulic conductivity at different water pressure heads, pore size distribution and bulk density (DAP) were determined at the final measure. The greatest track depth occurred with wet traffic and with the increase in the number of passes. In the treatments with traffic, values of penetration resistance that limit or stop root growth and consequently compromise crop yield were reached. The treatment with the highest number of partially dry passes had the lowest dry matter yield. An increase in DAP and a decrease in macroporosity were observed as a result of repeated traffic, especially in dry conditions (P<0.05). The treatment with the highest number of passes in PS was the one with the lowest yield of dry matter.
