When integrating regenerative principles into growing strategies, it is possible to be quickly faced with the prospect of reducing tillage in the fields. This is because compaction can occur as a result of heavy tillage. This is good motivation to seek a better understanding of the processes involved in creating compaction as well as strategies to overcome high tillage processes. In this section, take a look at the root response to compaction and learn about some plants that can be integrated to help with this serious issue.
