Plant response to mechanical resistance and air-filled porosity of soils under conventional and no-tillage system Resposta de plantas à resistência mecânica e porosidade de aeração de solos sob preparo convencional e plantio direto
Roots may respond to restrictive soil physical conditions and send signals to shoots to control plant growth. Soil mechanical resistance and aeration can be managed to improve the soil physical conditions for plant growth by using different tillage systems. The objective of this study was to quantif...
