Soil compaction by slurry injection and the effect on soil quality
(0) Introduction In (organic) dairy farming,fertilization of grassland with manures,such as slurry,is important to maintain yield level and soil quality.Slurry is mainly applied by shallow injection (4 cm) into grassland.During injection,trafficking may adversely affect soil structure by compaction.This risk is largest in early spring,when the soil is relatively wet.Soil compaction can result in deterioration of physical and biological soil characteristics.The objective of this experiment was to quantify the effect of soil trafficking in early spring on physical and biological soil parameters.
