Body

Adequate soil preparation will eliminate any compacted layers formed under cultivation and aid in securing a vigorous stand of grass on land converted from cash crop to pasture. Seedling emergence is not affected, but a compacted soil layer depresses the vigor of young grass plants by limiting root penetration and the volume of soil from which moisture for growth can be extracted. The curtailment of forage production is more pronounced with time.
