Effect of Soil Compaction on Tomato and Potato Yields1

W. J. Flocker, H. Timm and J. A. Vomocil2

Synopsis: Yield of tomatoes was not significantly reduced following severe soil compaction but yield and quality of potatoes were lowered. Equipment operated over the soil in the fall when soil moisture is high caused soil compaction in the upper 6-inch profile but this compaction tended to be alleviated during the winter months.
