abstract = "Movement of tractors and mobile systems during the plant production can be divided into the
movement of the interior of the plot and the movement on the headlands. Both movements
result in soil compaction of various intensity, whereby the compaction is more expressed on
the headlands, unlike the interior of the plot due to lower speeds in turning. The consequences
of compaction create unfavorable conditions for growth and development of cultivated crops,
permanent soil damage, reduction of yields and increase production costs. The paper shows
the results of measuring the impact of tractors and mobile systems movement on soil
compaction changes and the yield of various maize hybrids. The tests were carried out in the
conditions of the Jablanica County, and the soil compaction was measured by the Eijkelkamp
6.0 penetrolоger in accordance with EN 5140, while the soil moisture was measured by the
Theta probe. Cone resistance was measured at the inner part and the edges of the plot at the
beginning of the vegetation (emergence phase) and at the end of the vegetation (harvesting
phase). The aim was to determine the effects of changes in soil compaction, on the growth,
development and yield of various maize hybrids. The obtained results showed that the soil
compaction in the emergence phase of maize on the headlands was on average higher by more
than 92% in relation to the interior of the plot. In the harvesting phase on the headlands, more
intensive soil compaction values were measured in relation to the plot’s interior, and the soil
compaction increased more than 57%. Due to the more intensive soil compaction on the
headlands, the yields of maize on average were reduced more than 60%, compared to the plots
interior.",
