Many farmers periodically use deep tillage operations to alleviate compaction in the soil profile caused by natural factors or machinery traffic. In 2012 and 2013, a study was initiated in the Pannonian region of Croatia to study the effects of no-tillage (NT), conventional tillage (CT) and deep tillage (DT) on soil compaction, measured by (BD), soil water content (SWC), penetration resistance (PR) and total soil porosity (TSP). The experiment was established on Pseudogley (Stagnosol). The results show that DT was superior to CT and NT treatments. DT caused least soil physical degradation, with BD being in the following order: DT
Keywords: Bulk density, Penetration resistance, Pseudogley, Soil water content, Total soil porosity
