Abstract
In a field experiment, the compaction of both the surface and subsurface soil layers caused a decrease in the specific root activity of sugarcane. The effect was more with the surface than with the sub surface compaction. The surface compaction caused the root matting and a loss in the vertical penetration of roots. The loss in the root activity due to the matting effect was not compensated by any lateral extension of roots, a fact confirmed by the root number and the dry weight of roots
