The study was undertaken to assess the impact of prime movers (40 hp and 50 hp) and agricultural machinery (cultivator, disc harrow and rotavator) on soil compaction. Initially, the prime movers were operated at three speeds (2 kmph, 3 kmph and 5 kmph) for 1, 2 and 3 passes and responses were measured in terms of bulk density (gcm-3), particle density (gcm-3), porosity (%), cone index (kPa), infiltration rate (cmh-1), hydraulic conductivity (cmh-1) and particle size distribution (mm). The experiments were planned as per Randomized Block Design (RBD). It was observed that bulk density, particle density and cone index increased with an increase in the number of passes from 1 to 3. Maximum percentage increase of 5.82 % bulk density, 2.78 % particle density... |
