Soil compaction level under mechanized harvesting system in paddy field: a comparisons of pre-harvest and post-harvest / Mohamad Aiman Muslim Mohamad Sakri
Soil compaction is a serious problem which can lead in increasing of soil erosion and decreasing of crop production. This happen due to the compression soil density and reduction on the size of pores space by eliminating the water contents. This study was conducted to measure the soil compaction lev...
