Factors that lead to degradation of grasslands, important role of mechanization
Main Article Content
Abstract
Among the problems of physical degradation of soils, compaction and densification are the main ones, and these cause strong decreases in subsequent crop yields. The degradation of the soil structure is a problem today in Cuba, which can occur in all soils and at all levels of livestock production. Taking into account the above, this document aims to expose the main changes produced in the internal structure of soils as a result of its degradation. Soil compaction, due to the collapse or reduction of pore spaces, is the most common cause of physical restriction for root growth and development. As an aggravating factor, the degradation of the soil structure is commonly considered the most difficult type of land degradation to locate and reconvert; the reason is that this degradation is a subsurface phenomenon. Finally, it is about establishing some possible solutions to this problem, among which the main method of restoring the porosity of the limiting layers of root growth and that must take into account the chemical and physical factors of the soil, the species, the type of soil and the degree of degradation of the species that are proposed to restore, the use of plowing v+ harrow or plowing alone is the most efficient method for the recovery of pastures of the species
