R° IOOT development is of major significance in the growth of crop plants. Therefore the plant root response is an important criterion in the evaluation of different conditions of growth and is basic to the development of cultural and management schemes that will result in maximum yields. An examination of the root weight and distribution as affected by various cultural methods is the object of this study.
