Professional
Activities:
* Measure soil compaction and soil stresses
caused by vehicle traffic in agricultural fields
* Minimize
the effects of soil compaction by developing tillage
systems that separate plant growth zones from compacted
traffic zones by using site-specific technology and
automatic steering systems
* Manage soil compaction by reducing tire contact pressures
*
Alleviate soil compaction by developing energy-efficient
subsoiling systems that minimally disturb crop residue.
