Monitoring soil physical quality in areas cultivated with sugarcane has become a key management practice of this crop. It is due to the in-field traffic of heavy machines, implements, high mass harvesters and transhipments ...

The least limiting water range (LLWR) is a soil physical quality indicator that receives much attention. It has been criticized and put to the test regarding mathematical models that compose it since they describe the ...

The use of cover crops affects the support capacity of soil and least limiting water range to crop growth. The objective of this study was to quantify preconsolidation pressure (sigma(p)), compression index (CI) and least ...

Crop rotation and the maintenance of plant residues over the soil can increase soil water storage capacity. Root access to water and nutrients depends on soil physical characteristics that may be expressed in the Least ...

Mollisols of Santa Fe have different tilth and load support capacity. Despite the importance of these attributes to achieve a sustainable crop production, few information is available. The objectives of this study are i) ...

The least limiting water range (LLWR) integrates crop growth-limiting values based on easily measurable parameters such as soil water content and bulk density (BD) and has been validated as a valuable soil physical quality ...
