INFLUENCE OF SOIL COMPACTION LEVELS ON COWPEA PRODUCTION

REVISTA ENGENHARIA NA AGRICULTURA - REVENG, 2020
Cowpea, a short-cycle legume with large production in the North and Northeast regions, has its productive potential limited by edaphic characteristics and degradation processes of soil physical quality, such as compaction. This process may interfere with plant development and productivity by restricting root system growth, aeration, water and nutrient ...
