Comparatively little critical information is available on the degree of soil compaction encountered under contrasting agronomic conditions. The author has investigated soil compaction in specially constructed plots simulating field conditions and has studied the effect on yield of certain varieties of cereals. The results, largely confirmed under practical field conditions, suggest a higher soil bulk density requirement for cereals than that commonly achieved by traditional methods.
