Delineation of Soil Management Zones for Variable-Rate Subsoiling to Mitigate Soil Compaction

The proposed research investigates the presence of sub-surface soil hardpans is one of the impacting factors. These are dense subsoil layers impervious to water and leading to soil structure degradation as well as a reduction in yield of most crops as they restrict plant available water. The project objective is to relate apparent soil electrical conductivity (ECa) with soil properties specific to soil compaction to delineate soil management zones (MZs) for subsoiling to mitigate soil compaction effects on soil properties.
