Abstract
Research has shown that plants are adversely affected by a drying top soil and that this effect may be caused, at least partly, by a non-hydraulic (hormonal) root signal in response to soil water status and/or soil strength. Most studies done to elucidate root signal effects were limited to the short-term, typically 2 to 3 weeks of plant growth. This study was done to detect a possible nonhydraulic root signal in response to a drying top soil and to measure its effect on plant growth and production from emergence to maturity.
