Soil Compaction
Definition: soil compaction
soil compaction: the process in which soil is pressed down, e.g., by heavy loads, and becomes very firm with little space between its particles. The healthy world market price for soybeans has led to the development of continuous production of this crop and consequently some problems have developed, particularly soil compaction, weed species development, and reduction of soil fertility. [Arable Farming] Preventing soil compaction ensures proper root growth and water infiltration, supporting healthy crop growth and sustainable agriculture.
