Mechanical and Hydric Stress Effects on Maize Root System Development at Different Soil Compaction Levels

Mechanical and Hydric Stress Effects on Maize Root System Development at Different Soil Compaction Levels

Soil mechanical resistance, aeration, and water availability directly affect plant root growth. The objective of this work was to identify the contribution of mechanical and hydric stresses on maize root elongation, by modeling root growth while taking the dynamics of these stresses in an Oxisol int...
