Abstract

The influence of the duration of a high water-table on root and shoot growth of oats in an early growth stage was studied. Root wt., depth of rooting and number of nodal roots with a length of < 10 cm reacted favourably on a low water-table. In this experiment shoot growth, however, hardly reacted to better root growth. This meant that the plants with restricted root growth could absorb water and nutrients as well as those with larger root systems. The fertilization of the top 0-25 cm of soil could have been an important factor in this report. (Abstract retrieved from CAB Abstracts by CABI’s permission)
