Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Drought shifted chickpea roots away from surface soil.
- Intervention effect Drought increased root distribution below 30 cm.
- Observation Maximum soil water uptake under drought occurred at 45-60cm depth.
- Observation Maximum soil water uptake under irrigation occurred at 15-30 and 30-45cm.
- Observation Unused water was unchanged across watering regimes.
- Observation Drought-sensitive genotypes had inferior root distribution and soil water uptake.
- Observation Timing of water uptake varied among drought-tolerant genotypes.
- Association Greater water uptake through most stages and greater total water use characterized best adaptation.
- Association Water use at 15-30cm was associated with greater uptake from lower depths.
- Association Water use from 90-120cm soil was critical for best drought adaptation.
- Association Root length density and water uptake were closely associated across depths except at extremes.
