1. Impact of Mechanical Decompaction on Soybean Yield through Remote Sensing and Agronomic Variables

Soil compaction is one of the main limiting factors for agricultural productivity, requiring efficient diagnostic and management methods. Increased machinery traffic in agricultural areas alters soil physical properties, reducing macroporosity and increasing soil penetration resistance, which restricts root growth and limits water and nutrient uptake. Traditional field methods for diagnosing soil compaction are often punctual and labor-intensive, and they may not adequately represent the spatial...
