Abstract: In recent years, with the rapid increase of agricultural mechanization level, the soil compaction prob?lem is becoming increasingly prominent. Through the analysis of mechanized farming on soil bulk density, firm?ness, porosity, surface water infiltration, soil moisture content and other characteristics, soil structure change caused by mechanized farming were explained, as well as sugar beet growing and production of sugar beet. While promoting the development of agricultural mechanization,mechanized farming’s negative effects should be seriously considered, the practical measures should be taken to improve soil compaction and ensure the sus?tainable production of sugar beet.
