| Description | Both in field penetration resistance and bulk density measurements are heavily dependent on soil moisture content at the time of in-field measurement. Currently, little is known about what the impact of the timing is on final farmers recommendations that are being made based on the in-field measurement. Questions you may address in this research: When do crops actually experience stress due to compaction? Should we derive a soil compaction indicator and thresholds based on both soil moisture and penetration resistance measurements for certain soil types? |
