The mechanization of field operations like seeding, spraying and harvesting in continuous zero-tillage may lead to a severe compaction of the surface layer of coarse textured tropical soils, especially when mulch is sparse or missing. Therefore, a 2 year (1982–1984) field experiment was initiated...
