Effect of Soil Moisture Regime on Root Distribution of Warm Season Forage Species1

Basil D. Doss, D. A. Ashley and O. L. Bennett2

Synopsis: Effective rooting depths of five warm season forage species decreated as soil moisture increased. Root concentration of all species at each moisture regime decreased as depth increased. An average of 50% of the roots was in the upper 3 inches and 76% in the upper foot of soil.
