False.

Explanation: The compaction of soil can be both positive and negative, depending on the context. Compaction refers to the process of increasing the density of soil by removing air and reducing pore space between soil particles. In some cases, such as in the construction of roads, the compaction of soil is desirable as it increases the stability and load-bearing capacity of the soil. However, in many agricultural and natural environments, excessive compaction can have negative effects. It can hinder root growth, reduce water infiltration and drainage, decrease soil fertility, and lead to soil erosion. Therefore, the statement that compaction of soil is generally a positive phenomenon is not accurate.
