Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Ransom and PI had similar tap and lateral root responses to pH and Al.
- Observation Ransom mean tap root length exceeded PI by 22%.
- Association Ca-to-Al activity ratios explained most differences in root elongation among treatments.
- Observation Tap root relative length was halved at a Ca-to-Al ratio of 891.
- Observation Ca-to-Al thresholds for 50% lateral-root reduction varied among genotypes and exceeded tap-root thresholds by 1.6 to 3.5 times.
- Observation N93 and Ransom tolerated subsurface Al better than PI and Young.
