Abstract

Soil compaction causes adverse effects on soil structure and the performance of crops. There is significant literature supporting the hypothesis that reducing tire inflation pressure can help to minimize compaction, but there is no data on the potential benefits of high flexion tires operating at reduced tire pressures in Midwestern United States agriculture. Hence, a field‐scale study was established in Illinois to determine the potential benefits of high flexion tires at low tire pressure (LTP) in comparison with those operated at standard tire inflation pressure (STP) on soil condition, crop growth and yield of maize and soybean for three tillage systems; deep tillage (450 mm), shallow tillage (100 mm) and no‐till. Two adjacent experiments were established in typical maize/soybean and soybean/maize rotations, respectively. The experiment used a 2 × 3 factorial design with five completely randomized blocks. The results showed that the use of LTP tires resulted in lower soil penetrometer resistance for three tillage systems in 2017 and 2018 in the maize field and 2018 in the soybean field. This improved plant establishment and the number of plants per hectare of maize in both 2016 (*p ≤ .05) and 2018 (**p ≤ .01) and plant establishment (***p ≤ .001) and the number of plants per hectare (***p ≤ .001) of soybean in 2018. The penetrometer resistance was higher in the no‐till plots compared to deep and shallow tillage plots in maize and was higher in the deep tillage plots compared to the shallow tillage in the soybean field. The use of LTP tires resulted in an increased grain yield of maize by 4.31% (15.02 Mg ha−1) and 2.70% (14.76 Mg ha−1) in 2017 (**p ≤ .01) and 2018 (*p ≤ .05), respectively, and soybean by 3.70% (4.25 Mg ha−1) in 2018 (*p ≤ .05). The depth of tillage had a significant effect on soybean and maize yields in 2017 (***p ≤ .001) and 2018 (***p ≤ .001), respectively, with higher yields of both soybean and maize in the deep and shallow tillage compared to no‐till plots. The study concludes that the use of the LTP systems can be a potential means of addressing soil compaction and maintaining soil porosity while increasing crop productivity in silty clay loam soils in Central Illinois.

轮胎充气压力和耕作制度对淤泥质粘壤土的土壤特性、玉米和大豆生长及产量的影响

土壤板结会对土壤结构和作物生长产生不利影响。有大量文献支持降低轮胎充气压力有助于最大限度减少土壤板结的假设，但目前还没有关于美国中西部农业在降低轮胎气压的情况下使用高抗弯轮胎的潜在益处的数据。因此，在伊利诺伊州开展了一项田间规模的研究，以确定在深耕（450 毫米）、浅耕（100 毫米）和免耕三种耕作制度下，低胎压（LTP）高屈曲轮胎与标准轮胎充气压力（STP）高屈曲轮胎相比，对土壤条件、作物生长和玉米与大豆产量的潜在益处。在典型的玉米/大豆和大豆/玉米轮作中分别建立了两个相邻的实验。试验采用 2 × 3 的因子设计，有五个完全随机区组。结果表明，在 2017 年和 2018 年的玉米田以及 2018 年的大豆田中，使用 LTP 轮胎使三种耕作制度的土壤穿透计阻力降低。这提高了 2016 年（*p ≤ .05 ）和 2018 年（**p ≤ .01 ）玉米的植株成活率和每公顷植株数，以及 2018 年大豆的植株成活率（***p ≤ .001 ）和每公顷植株数（***p ≤ .001 ）。玉米免耕地块的穿透阻力高于深耕和浅耕地块，大豆田深耕地块的穿透阻力高于浅耕地块。使用 LTP 轮胎后，2017 年（**p ≤ .01) 和 2018 年（*p ≤ .05）玉米籽粒产量分别增加了 4.31%（15.02 Mg ha-1）和 2.70%（14.76 Mg ha-1），2018 年大豆籽粒产量增加了 3.70%（4.25 Mg ha-1）（*p ≤ .05）。耕作深度对2017年（***p ≤ .001）和2018年（***p ≤ .001）的大豆和玉米产量分别有显著影响，与免耕地块相比，深耕和浅耕地块的大豆和玉米产量均较高。研究得出结论，在伊利诺伊州中部的淤泥质粘壤土中，使用 LTP 系统是解决土壤板结、保持土壤孔隙度、同时提高作物产量的一种潜在手段。

期刊介绍： Soil Use and Management publishes in soil science, earth and environmental science, agricultural science, and engineering fields. The submitted papers should consider the underlying mechanisms governing the natural and anthropogenic processes which affect soil systems, and should inform policy makers and/or practitioners on the sustainable use and management of soil resources. Interdisciplinary studies, e.g. linking soil with climate change, biodiversity, global health, and the UN’s sustainable development goals, with strong novelty, wide implications, and unexpected outcomes are welcomed.
