- Observation Roots penetrated the B horizon and extended to a caliche hardpan.
- Intervention effect Rolling improved moisture retention, emergence, growth, survival and near-surface root development.
- Intervention effect Heavy rolling above seed mechanically restricted emergence and subsequent germination under continued precipitation.
- Intervention effect Heavy rolling reduced primary roots and lateral root distribution where cleavage lines occurred.
- Intervention effect Rolling in strips benefited moisture retention and grass survival.
