Soil compaction due to agricultural machinery impact: A systematic review

Land Degradation and Development, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 35(10), P. 3256 - 3273

Published: April 27, 2024

Abstract Soil compaction is generally viewed as one of the most serious soil degradation problems and a determining factor in crop productivity worldwide. It imperative to understand processes involved meet future global challenges food security. In this work, we used co‐occurring keyword analysis summarize 3491 papers on over past 40 years, elaborating main research focuses such causes, influencing factors, effects crops, mitigation prevention compaction. This review provides comprehensive discussion compaction, including altering structure, increasing bulk density (BD) penetration resistance (PR), reducing porosity hydraulic properties. Notably, based 387 data points 11 about BD, our results demonstrated average, increased BD by 7.6%, 6.9%, 3.2% medium‐, coarse‐, fine‐textured soils, respectively. Based 264 18 papers, 0–30 cm layer, (by 91% coarse‐textured, 84.2% medium‐textured, 8.8% soils). Compacted limits access roots water nutrients, leading poor root development reduced productivity. There was difference sensitivity between different but growth yield showed an overall worsening trend with degrees collected 142 yields found that wheat, barley, corn, soybean decreased average 4.1%, 15.1%, 37.7%, 22.7%, respectively, range 1.1–1.8 Mg/cm 3 after Additionally, effectiveness measures, natural, tillage, biological, systematically discussed. Compared should be top priority although there still lack practical methods. conditions agricultural machinery type are factors affecting risk process Therefore, it particularly important optimize working field farm reduce initiative pivotal for ensuring sustainable systems production recovering from compacted soil.

Rotary Tillage and Straw Mulching Enhance Dry Matter Production, Yield, and Water productivity in a Rain-fed Wheat-Soybean Double Cropping System

Research Square (Research Square), Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: May 13, 2025

Aims Water deficiency and low water use efficiency severely constrain wheat yield in dryland regions. This study aimed to identify suitable tillage straw management practices improve efficiency, grain of the winter wheat-summer bean double cropping system. Methods A long-term field experiment (onset October 2009) four treatments—plowing with no mulching (PTNS), plowing (PTSM), rotary (RTNS), (RTSM), was conducted at a typical China. The component, dry matter accumulation translocation characteristics, were investigated from 2014 2018. Results significantly increased spike number, grains per spike, 1000-grain weight, harvest index, ultimately resulting increases 10.5% under PT 20.5% RT. Tillage affected characteristics except for that had significant effect on pre-anthesis translocation. Straw respectively consumption by 7.4% 10.4%, 3.1% 9.6%, compared treatments RT without mulching. also enhanced pre-sowing storage capacity, water-saving unit yield. Conclusions TOPSIS confirmed RTSM's superiority through straw-induced improvements nutrient productivity. Rotary optimizes matter/water yield, recommended systems.

Optimizing Maize Productivity and Soil Health: Insights from Tillage, Nitrogen Management, and Hydrochar Applications

Published: July 5, 2024

Enhancing soil fertility and maize productivity is crucial for sustainable agriculture. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of tillage practices, nitrogen management strategies, acidified hydrochar on productivity. The experiment used a randomized complete block design with split-split plot arrangement four replications. Main plots received shallow deep tillage. Sub-plots were treated (120 kg ha⁻¹) from farmyard manure urea, including control, 33% FYM + 67% urea (MU), 80% 20% (MF). Acidified treatments H0 (no hydrochar) H1 (with hydrochar, 2 t applied sub-sub plots. Deep significantly increased plant height, biological yield, grain ear length, grains ear-1, thousand weight, content compared MU MF improved growth parameters yield over control. Hydrochar varied; enhanced certain components but reduced height properties H0. Canonical discriminant analysis linked MU/MF characteristics. In conclusion, combined integrated manage-ment enhances health. However, application requires op-timization. These findings highlight importance selecting appropriate strategies production. insights guide policymakers, agronomists, agricultural extension services in adopting evidence-based agriculture, enhancing food production, mitigating environmental impacts. Future research should in-vestigate long-term impacts across diverse environments validate these results.

Saline Water Irrigation Changed the Stability of Soil Aggregates and Crop Yields in a Winter Wheat–Summer Maize Rotation System

Agronomy, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 14(11), P. 2564 - 2564

Published: Oct. 31, 2024

Irrigation using saline water is extensively used in areas of agricultural production where freshwater scarce. However, irrigation adversely impacts soil’s physicochemical characteristics and crop productivity. In this study, we established with five salinity levels (ECiw, 1.3, 3.4, 7.1, 10.6, 14.1 dS·m−1) to investigate how these influenced grain yields as well soil salinity, alkalinity, sodicity, aggregate stability the 0~20 cm layer a wheat maize rotation field (in 2022–2023). Tukey’s test, entropy-weighted TOPSIS, least squares method were analyze significance analysis, comprehensively evaluate index comprehensive score (SICS), achieve linear fitting, respectively. The results showed that when ECiw > 3.4 dS·m−1, there was significant increase pH, sodium adsorption ratio. When 7.1 reduction observed. ≤ no maize. Furthermore, annual decreased by 5% 10%, respectively, resulting change values from 2.98 4.24 based on regression analysis SICS ECiw, SICS. Under uniform conditions, sodicity lower, indexes more stable at maturity stage
