Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Root density of both sorghum hybrids increased until grain filling.
- Observation Senescent sorghum cultivars generally exhibited greater root density.
- Observation The nonsenescent sorghum hybrid Pioneer 42004 established its aventitious root system earlier than the senescent hybrid.
- Observation Root density of both hybrids decreased from week 11 to week 13.
- Association The greater root density decrease of the senescent hybrid was reflected in a lesser grain yield.
- Observation Root distribution and density were similar for each hybrid 3 weeks after planting.
