Wheel traffic effects on soil compaction and corn production

A study to investigate the effects of tractor wheel traffic on soil compaction and corn production was conducted at the University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois. Wheel traffic treatments included; traffic on entire plot, TE; traffic on rows, TO; traffic between rows, TB; and no traffic on the plot, NT. All plots were moldboard-plowed in fall and anhydrous ammonia applied in spring before applying wheel traffic treatments. After the wheel traffic treatments, herbicides were applied and incorporated with a disk harrow and a field cultivator before planting.
