Soil
Compaction
Soil is the basis of any crop and is the rural productor’s greatest asset. Keeping it healthy to reach maximum production capacity demands specific and continuous care.
The compaction is a problem for the development of the crop that hides from the eyes of those who visually evaluate the soil. The traffic of machines and implements of excessive weight, mainly when the soil is very humid, are some of the several factors that contribute to the densification of the soil. The presence of animals in continuous trampling also exerts a pressure that can lead to the appearance of compaction.
In addition to fertility, the physical condition of the soil must be monitored to ensure good root development and water storage. Forming a soil profile that sustains a high level of productivity can be a long work, but it is essential for those who want to produce more and with stability.

A precise diagnosis of compaction location and depth guides soil profile correction interventions to save resources and reduce costs.
In addition to identifying where corrections should be made, the results may indicate the need for less drastic and more sustainable interventions such as crop rotation and the use of cover crops for root development.
