Abstract/Contents:"Hollow and solid tine cultivation effects as influenced by soil compaction and moisture content during cultivation were evaluated on the basis of soil structural qualities and root growth. As expected, compaction resulted in pronounced detrimental effects on soil structure and root growth. Both cultivation methods resulted in positive and negative effects on soil structure. Cultivation increased the amount of large soil pores with hollow tine coring being the most effective in producing this response. Regardless of compaction level, solid tine cultivation increased the amount of intermediate sized pores when compared to hollow tine cultivation. Therefore, hollow tine cultivation produced the most beneficial changes in soil porosity. Soil strength within the zone of cultivation [surface 2-3 inches] was reduced after cultivation. Initially, solid tine cultivation was more effective in loosening the surface soil than hollow tine cultivation, however this effect was reversed by the end of this study. Water conductivity rate dropped dramatically after cultivation, indicating compaction at the bottom of the cultivation zone restricted water flow. Compaction stress decreased root growth while cultivation had a limited effect on root growth. Cultivation decreased surface rooting in non-compacted soil but had no influence on rooting in compacted soil in November, 1985. Cultivation in non-compacted soil tended to increase rooting in June of 1986 but again, had no effect on rooting in compacted soil. Throughout the study, hollow tine cultivation ranked equal to or higher than solid tine cultivation in visual quality."
