Abstract

ABSTRACT To minimise soil compaction, land managers should limit cow grazing periods when soil water content (SWC) is greater than a critical water content (CWC) at which point soils are prone to treading damage. A laboratory‐based method, the ‘proctor test’, has been used to identify the CWC in two...
