Soil Compaction

- Fundamentals -

Soil compaction is the squeezing of together of soil particles, reducing the space available for air and water.
Compaction increases the density of the soil, which hampers infiltration of water, soil air movement, seedling emergence, root growth and ultimately reducing yield.
There are two types of soil compaction: natural and human-induced.
