Cultivar differences in spatial root distribution during early growth in soil, and its relation to nutrient uptake - a study of wheat, onion and lettuce
文摘
Background and aimsA study was made to quantify early root development, soil exploitation and nutrient uptake in spring wheat, onion and lettuce, and their variation among cultivars. The goal was to study genetic variation in root traits making cultivars better adapted to organic production systems or other low-input systems.
