Government incentives, spurred by climate change fears, will likely nudge you toward reduced tillage programs and cover crops in the near future. On-farm tests conducted by Farm Journal field ...
To illustrate the intelligent-compaction (IC) roller’s potential to increase production, Kevin Garcia—road and paving construction segment manager for Trimble Navigation—relates an experiment Trimble ...
Dynamic compaction is a soil improvement technique which involves the repeated application of an impact load to a contact area of the soil surface induced by heavy weights. Experimental measurements ...
Soil compaction affects many soil functions, but we have little information on the resistance and resilience of soil microorganisms to this disturbance. Here, we present data on the response of soil ...
When you look at the walk-behind compactors in your fleet, chances are you don't think of them as precise scientific instruments. Yet, soil compaction is a science and it requires a certain degree of ...
The paving industry relies on compaction to increase pavement density and extend pavement life. A study by Washington State concluded that the life of a pavement can be extended by two years for every ...
Several challenges may be presented when processing powder blends: the blend may be prone to segregation, the creation of agglomerates may influence homogeneity, or component powders may poorly flow ...
