Water-Extraction by Split-Roots of Sesbania and Pigeon Pea Exposed to Spatially Heterogeneous Distribution of Soil Water
Previous studies have suggested that the deep roots of sesbania (Sesbania sesban) function less efficiently in water acquisition than those of pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan) despite similar rooting depths. To investigate this phenomenon, both species were grown in a vertically split-root system. The top...
