dc.description.abstractA field scale experiment was carried out in Pukekohe in 2020 under an annual grass crop season to characterize the subsoil compaction in controlled traffic farming (CTF) and random traffic farming systems (RTF). Soil penetration resistance (PR) measurements were taken in each field using a cone penetrometer fitted with a 100 mm2 60° top angle cone. Multivariate analysis was performed to identify penetration resistance by depth through cluster analysis and principal component analysis (PCA). Repeated measures ANOVA was performed on the penetration data using the mixed model procedure to determine the treatment effects. In RTF, the penetrometer values increased more rapidly with depth resulting in higher values being recorded from 20cm compared to CTF. In contrast, it was greater in CTF than in RTF at the subsurface (55-60cm). The differences in PR declined beyond 55cm depth at both sites. All depths showed that differences in soil PR were most apparent in the 5-40cm depth, with significant differences between CTF and RTF (P<0.0001). This shows that traffic management at both CTF and RTF sites caused significant changes in the 5-40cm depth. However, there were no differences in PR between CTF and RTF below 40cm and at 0-5cm depth (P >0.05) showing that the soil layers were homogeneous in both systems beyond 40cm depth. The propagation of subsurface compaction was identified at the deeper layer (40-60cm) in CTF systems whereas it was identified from shallower depths (25-55cm) in RTF system.
