Halas, J.,Soil Science and Conservation Research Institute, Bratislava (Slovak Republic)
The paper presents results of an investigation of soil compaction within a selected field with aim to (1) confirm soil degradation by compaction and (2) to obtain information about area of compacted soils. Based on potential soil compaction (HALAS et al., 2003) defined from main soil units, penetrometric measurements at arable field were carried out in a grid 75 x 75 m. The values of pressure were consequently corrected according to actual soil moisture. Space distribution of soil penetration resistance is presented in the maps. The results and above-limit values of soil compaction confirmed that degradation process of soil compaction is actually present. The high space variability of soil compaction was detected.
