Root development of three commercial forage pigeon‐pea cultivars in artificially compacted soil
Soil compaction is an increasing problem in Brazil and the use of appropriate species for soil decompaction is the most practical and economical way to face this problem.Among these species, pigeon‐pea plays an important role due to the capacity of its roots to penetrate highly compacted soil layers (Camargo & Alleoni, 1997).Observations in a pigeon‐pea line collection showed that there are differences among them in that capacity.To test pigeon‐pea lines to this characteristic, it is necessary to select a control, among the available commercial cultivars.The purpose of this work was to select the most efficient commercial forage pigeon‐pea cultivar to penetrate compacted soil layers, to serve as a control in the process of selecting pure lines.
