Popis: Compaction in the 0.05- to 0.30-m depth may limit tillering and N accumulation in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.); these effects may be yield reducing. Before imposing compaction treatments in a field study in Minnesota, perforated small-diameter tubing was buried in a Waukegan silt loam (sandy skeletal, mixed, mesic Typic Hapludoll) at a depth of 0.2 m in all plots. Compacted plots each received four passes with a heavy vibrating roller, while control plots were disk plowed and then disk harrowed. All plots were then surface roto-tilled and seeded to wheat. At early tillering a K 15 NO 3 solution was applied to the subsurface via the tubing [...]
