Abstract
Corn (Zea mays L.) root distribution was observed in monoculture and corn-legume rotation plots established in 1956 on Brookston clay loam soil. The results support the hypothesis that a more extensive corn root distribution is promoted by a corn-legume rotation. There was no indication of a root-restricting zone in either rotation.Key words: Monoculture corn, alfalfa rotationThis publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
