Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleCharacterizing Soil Penetration Resistance of Planted Sago Palm (Metroxylon spp.) Under Mineral Soils EcosystemMohd Effendi Wasli, Nurul Hidayah Che Ali, Roland Yong et al.In-situ soil assessment such as field soil compaction can often be a helpful approach in help determining soil suitability for certain crops. In this study, an assessment was conducted to characterize the Soil Penetration Resistance (SPR) in planted sago palm (Metroxylon spp.) plantation at different growth of rosette and trunking stages under mineral soils ecosystem. SPR in-situ assessment would provide … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 4 · 20 Dec 2021 · 6,731 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCompaction Properties of Silty Soils in Relation to Soil Texture, Moisture Content and Organic MatterPrathuang Usaborisut, Jettapol AmpanmaneeSoil compaction is recognized as an increasingly challenging problem with regard to root growth and yield reduction in agricultural production in Thailand. The aim of this research was to study the effect of soil texture, moisture content and organic matter on the compaction properties of silty soils. Three soils with different silt contents were studied-loam, silty clay loam and silt … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2015 · 9,536 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSoil Compaction in Sugarcane Fields Induced by MechanizationPrathuang Usaborisut, Watcharachan SukcharoenvipharatProblem statement: Recently in Thailand, the problem of soil compaction, especially associated with more mechanized sugarcane production, has drawn attention from both the government and private sectors. Approach: To understand this problem, investigations of soil compaction using cone penetration resistance and bulk density were conducted in 16 sugarcane fields with 10 fields involving mechanized farming and 6 field's mainly manual … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 14 Sep 2011 · 8,404 accessesView PDF Cite
