Effect of Soil Compaction and Depth of Seed Placement on the Emergence of Different Crops

Abstract

Compacting the soil above 1.2 g/cc delayed the crop emergence and reduced the emergence percentage of seedlings. At shallow sowing wheat tolerated a bulk density of 1.2 g/cc and rice upto 1.8 g/cc. Increasing seeding depth had harmful effect on crop emergence.
