the industry's researchers and scientists got together in Toowoomba for the Australian Cotton Research Conference (proudly supported by CottonInfo partners CRDC and CSD).

Compaction caused by machinery traffic can have severe yield consequences. Compaction increases soil strength and reduces soil porosity, which hinders root growth, moisture and nutrient uptake, and plant growth.

Having outlined the complexity of this topic, I now intend to summarise the soil and plant mineral relations during waterlogging, followed by a brief review of the scientific principles to improve understanding of the
