Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of soil water and soil strength on root growth in situations where the individual effects of both of these factors were important. Three grain legumes were grown from pre-germinated seeds for five days on 50-mm compacted columns of two major soils of Sri Lanka. Four or five levels of bulk density (1.1 to 1.8 Mg.m−3) and five or six levels of matric potential (−0.02 to−2.0 MPa) were used.
