Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a thorough examination of the relation between root development and activities of crop plants as they relate to crop ecology. Through multiple experiments conducted by the author, the book offers a detailed analysis of root depth and growth in several cereal crops. This work builds upon the author's previous research on root systems of native plants growing in various soil types found in grasslands, chaparral, sandhills, plains, and prairies. The book's experiments observe the position, extent, and activity of roots in relation to soil composition and environmental conditions across multiple growth stages. The investigations provide a valuable database for root distribution and absorption under cropping conditions, shedding light on the relative value of greenhouse experiments and the interpretation of results from both field and container studies. The insights presented in this book are of great significance to crop production and management, especially in semiarid or arid regions.
