Effects of cattle grazing crop residues on soil bulk density

Taylor, R.K.; Slocombe, John W.
Effects of cattle grazing on soil bulk density

were measured at two sites in central Kansas.

Samples were taken at depths of 0 to 3 in. and

3 to 6 in. from grazed and ungrazed areas at five

locations in each field. No statistical difference

(P>0.01) between bulk densities of the two

areas occurred at the 3 to 6 in. depth for either

site. However, soil in the grazed areas had

significantly higher (P<0.01) bulk density than

that in the ungrazed areas at the 0 to 3 in. depth

at both sites.
