Root system size of spring barley as measured by means of its electrical capacity was evaluated in the 12th till 14th year of monoculture. It was significantly greater in variants with burnt straw in situ or with turned under straw than in variant with straw cleared away. The kind of seed‐bed preparation did not influenced root system size significantly, but its interaction with straw utilization and with term of measurement was significant. The larges root sytem was found in combination with minimal seed‐bed preparation and burnt straw (relatively 100) and the smallest in combination with minimal seed‐bed preparation and straw cleared away (relatively 62).
