ABSTRACT:
Soil temperature, penetration resistance, bulk density, water retention, and texture were compared in conventional tillage and no-till treatments. No-till and double-crop management partially offset the adverse effects of soil temperature and water stresses. Mechanical impedance was a problem in some soils.
