No-tillage (NT) is a major component of conservation agricultural systems. Challenges that
have arisen with the adoption of NT include soil compaction, weed management, and …

The impact of soil compaction on soybean root growth and grain yield can be alleviated by
the presence of biopores and root channels in the soil profile. We hypothesize that cover …

Crop residues may buffer part of compressive stress applied over the soil surface. Thus,
indiscriminate crop residue removal would magnify soil compaction in highly mechanized …

Soil compaction caused by intense machine traffic is a challenge in the sugarcane
production system, but its implications can be mitigated by the higher content of soil organic …

A growing demand for resources has led to the expansion of agricultural areas worldwide.
However, land conversion associated with poor soil management might lead to soil physical …

Sustainable agricultural strategies such as conservation agriculture (CA) and integrated
land management are required to mitigate land degradation and food insecurity. This study …

The randomized traffic during all crop cycles in the Brazilian sugarcane production system
enhances soil compaction. The use of automatic steering in controlled traffic farming …

Large-scale sugarcane plantation is characterized by successive and disordered traffic of
heavy machinery and equipment over the cycle, which can cause damage to the soil …

Two-component foaming polymer (TFPU) grouting material is increasingly used in civil
engineering. Its compressive strength is key to achieving the desired enhancing effect. The …

Management strategies that reduce machinery traffic, such as creating seedbeds, could be
adopted to preserve soil health and reduce soil physical restriction to sugarcane …
