Agricultural soil compaction : causes and management

Description

Compaction of soil is the compression of soil particles into a smaller volume, which reduces the size of pore space available for air and water. Soil compaction can be a serious and unnecessary form of soil degradation that can result in increased soil erosion and decreased crop production. This fact sheet discusses the importance of soil porosity, looks at several different types of soil compaction that may occur, and outlines best management practices to prevent soil compaction.
