Soil compaction is a major constraint to sustainable agricultural production, adversely affecting soil physical properties, root growth, nutrient uptake, and crop productivity. It results from heavy machinery, livestock traffic, intensive tillage, repeated cultivation, and inherent soil characteristics, leading to increased bulk density and reduced pore space. Compacted soils restrict root penetration, limit oxygen availability, impair water infiltration and drainage, reduce nutrient accessibility, and increase the risk of soil erosion, ultimately affecting plant growth and yield. Effective management of soil compaction involves regular soil monitoring, conservation tillage, cover cropping, mechanical loosening through subsoiling or aeration, incorporation of organic amendments, and controlled traffic farming. Adopting these integrated management practices improves soil structure, enhances root development, and supports sustainable crop production while preserving long-term soil health.
