Abstract

A field technology with the computer model called “RACINE” was used to estimate root-length density (RLD) and the root exploration from root count on soil profiles. The results indicated a drastic reduction on root development due to restrictions as low phosphorous and decreasing organic matter. However, Glomus mosse can promote the root system, on RLD and root front.
