Abstract :There is an intensive farming for the growing population daily. Water is the most important aspect of the intense agriculture areas. As a result of increasing heat and decreasing precipitation, drought is the most significant natural disaster of recent years. The areas that soil compaction mostly occurs, the irrigation water efficiency decreases also surface erosion occurs. Main aim of this study is in the field of sugar beet farming, determining soil compaction arise from intense field traffic in Konya-Cumra lowland. For this purpose in 9 different sugar beet farming land, 4 different season insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(before planting, after planting, growing period, after harvest);, as 5 recurrence 180 penetration reading has been made. In different period difference between penetration resistant measurements are statistically important. Before planting the low penetration resistance values are starts increasing and reach the highest level at the end of harvest. Both agricultural activity according to field traffic and root growth of sugar beet are mutually effect the increment of penetration resistance. As a result seasonal change of soil compaction based on field traffic exposed and soil compaction can affect the efficiency of beet and also plant growth. So, it is pointed out that sugar beet farming needs to be more controlled about field traffic and also needs to be cause less compaction.
