Soil compaction limits field capacity and inhibits root growth, so how can growers reduce its impact? Hear soil science graduate student Isha Chand describe her current research focused on understanding the nexus between soil health, soil moisture, and irrigation management for potato production in Northwestern Washington. In this episode, she explains how irrigation management and soil compaction impact potato yield.
