Soil Water Effect on Root Activity, Root Weight Density, and Grain Yield in Winter Wheat

Crop Science, 2017
Soil water has a significant effect on root characteristics, influencing overall growth. Understanding the optimal timing, depth, and volume of irrigation is important. Two years of field experiments were conducted to determine the effect of soil water content on root activity, root weight density, and yield in winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

Intercropping with wheat leads to greater root weight density and larger below-ground space of irrigated maize at late growth stages

Soil Science and Plant Nutrition, 2011
Intercropping two species at different growth stages is common in temperate and tropical areas. An apparent recovery of growth is observed in late-maturing species after early-maturing species have been harvested, but the mechanism remained unclear. This study tested the hypothesis that the roots of late-maturing species occupy greater below-ground ...

Sowing Density: A Neglected Factor Fundamentally Affecting Root Distribution and Biomass Allocation of Field Grown Spring Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.) [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Studies on the function of root traits and the genetic variation in these traits are often conducted under controlled conditions using individual potted plants.
