Sustaining an increasing human population with decreasing soil resources is a great challenge of the 21st century. Suboptimal availability of water and N are primary limitations to plant growth in the low-input agroecosystems in developing nations, whereas intensive fertilization at the cost of substantial environmental pollution is a problem in rich countries. The development of crops with greater rooting depth addresses these challenges. Deeper rooting improves water and nutrient uptake, which in turn reduces the need of application of external resources. In our study, we investigate the effect of intercropping on the deep root development and nutrient uptake in sugar beet – chicory mixture. The crops were chosen due to their deep roots and similar... |
