Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Sorghum plants formed rhizosheaths under external phosphorus supply.
- Observation Naga Red had significantly longer total and lateral roots than Naga White.
- Observation At five leaves, red and white genotypes had lateral root lengths of 22.8 and 16.2 cm, respectively.
- Observation At GPD, red and white genotypes had lateral root lengths of 124 and 88.9 cm, respectively.
- Intervention effect At five leaves, increasing phosphorus raised total root length about 2.5 fold over unamended soil.
- Intervention effect At GPD, increasing phosphorus reduced total root length about 1.83 fold against unamended soil.
- Association Specific rhizosheath weight weakly correlated with root hair density.
- Association Specific rhizosheath weight and RHD explained up to 59% of tissue phosphorus variation.
- Association Root hair density responded more to phosphorus supply than root hair length.
- Association Root hair density followed the pattern of total and lateral root lengths.
- Observation Most desirable responses to phosphorus were at 200–300 mg P per kg soil.
