Soil compaction, which regularly accompanies intensive agricultural practice, negatively affects the physical state of the soil, thereby significantly decreasing yields. The most important cultural practices for reducing soil compaction are tillage, fertilization, and crop rotation. The extent of soil compaction as well as its negative effects can be alleviated by applying soil tillage at favourable moisture levels, combining or omitting certain cultural practices, and applying ameliorating tillage measures. Long-term use of organic fertilizers increases the effectiveness of soil defence mechanisms against compaction. Of all the crop species included in our study, soil compaction was the greatest after sugar beet, followed by maize, while the level of compaction after winter wheat turned out to be considerably lower.
