Silage maize cv. Brutus was grown on 3 soil types in 1980-82 on (a) loose soil, (b) soil lightly compacted with a packer at ploughing, (c) soil moderately compacted using a tractor with double rear wheels, (d) soil heavily compacted using a tractor with single rear wheels. Crop growth responses varied over time in relation to growth stage and amount of rainfall. There were small yield reductions in loose soil, and large reductions in heavily compacted soil resulting from insufficient soil aeration. Results were greatly influenced by rainfall pattern and local variations in drainage status. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
