Biopores act as pathways for the roots of following crops to access water and nutrients stored in the subsoil. Their role for nutrient management is especially important under the conditions of Organic Agriculture. In a field trial on Haplic Luvisol, chicory (Cichorium intybus L., tap root system) and tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea, fibrous root system) were grown as precrops. Effects on biopore density, root-length density (RLD), leaf area index (LAI), biomass, transpiration and photosynthesis of following winter barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) were measured. Biopore density and RLD declined with soil depth. In all depth levels biopore density was higher after chicory in comparison to fescue. Between 95 and 125 cm soil depth the difference was significant.... |
