Abstract
A field study was carried out on a Brookston clay soil at Woodslee, Ontario, in 1952–1955 to measure some effects of tillage traffic on soil physical conditions and crop yield. The experiment was conducted at high and low moisture levels and on cropping systems considered to be extreme in effect on the soil.In this study tillage traffic was not consistently deleterious to physical properties and appeared to have little influence on corn and oat yields. Crop yield seemed to be affected by the preceding crop.
