Fall avoids compacted soils
out of the soil as pores or air
pockets collapse from the
weight of the heavy equip
ment.
Roots need oxygen if
they’re to develop energy
needed to push through the
soil to secure nutrients and
water, warns University of
“Delaware extension
agronomist Dr. William H.
Mitchell. Without a plentiful
supply of air, soil bacteria
will even turn to fertilizer
materials such as nitrate
nitrogen for their oxygen
supply. Having lost some of
its oxygen, the nitrogen
‘ becomes unstable and
escapes jnto the air. Now the
plant roots have lost both
badly needed oxygen and
nitrogen. They can’t function
well and the end result is a
yield loss.
If the lime or fertilizer
truck had passed over the
field at some other time
almost any other time-the
result would have been less
damaging, says Mitchell. In
late winter or early spring
the soil is moist, soft and
loose as a result of winter
rams, cool weather and
freezing-thawing action. It is

more easily compressed or

These are the days to work
at your desk, order the
garden seed or repair
equipment. But stay off the
land!
If you can remember
following the plow and a pair
of horses, you will recall how
the soil stuck to your boots
when it was too moist for
working. Now you’re in a cab
many feet above the ground
and the condition of the soil
isn’t as obvious to you. And
of course you have flotation
.tires, duals, 4-wheel drive
and plenty of power. So a
littjt- sticky soil may be
shrugged off as a minor
nuisance. But the best
evidence from research tests
and farm experience

suggests that serious yield
losses may result from such
traffic on loose soils in the
spring.
Compaction rarely occurs
on dry soil. For this reasoa
soils are generally less
vulnerable m the fall than
during the late winter and
early spring
No-tillage methods will
reduce the amount of
equipment traffic, which is a
decided advantage for this
type of cropping system. But
even no-tillage fields can be
damaged by heavy equip
ment, if the soil is loose and

moist, cautions the
agronomist.
Since lime in the
late summer or fall will
generally be accompanied
by less soil compaction than
when applied in -the spring,
he recommends you plan to
put it down following your
crop harvest.
Phosphorous and
potassium fertilizers can
also be truck-spread in the
fall since there’s no dangec
of leaching losses, even on
sandy soils. Again, there will
be less compaction than
would occur if you delayed
the job until March or April.
