Controlled traffic farming increased crop yield, root growth, and nitrogen supply at two organic vegetable farms [PDF]
Soil and Tillage Research, 2019 Increased farm machinery weight in agricultural production results in soil compaction. Controlled traffic farming (CTF) restricts traffic to permanent lanes, thereby creating traffic free beds for crop production.
