Effects of cattle treading on physical properties of three soils used for dairy farming in the Waikato, North Island, New Zealand.(Statistical Data Included)

Abstract

A study of the physical condition of 3 soils used for intensive dairy farming in the Waikato Region was undertaken. The study was to determine the existing physical condition of the soil, the possible long-term changes from pugging damage, and the most appropriate measurements and depth for monitoring change in soil physical properties under dairying.

Four dairy farms were selected on each of 3 soils (an Allophanic Soil and 2 Gley Soils). On each farm, 3 sites that corresponded to never trodden, usual (`average' paddock and pasture condition for the farm), and previously pugged (pugged [is greater than] 18 months ago) pasture histories were sampled. ...
