| Root development in beetroot (Beta vulgaris L. ssp vulgaris var. conditiva Alef.), sweet corn (Zea mays L. convar. Saccharata Koern.) and celeriac (Apium graveolens L. var. rapaceum Gaud.) was followed during two growing seasons with the aim of describing the root systems and nitrogen (N) utilisation of the three vegetables. The crops were grown after incorporation of green manure either in the preceding Autumn or Spring. Beetroot reached a final root depth of 1.55 – 1.8 m. For sweet corn, the final root depths were 0.6 and 0.9 m, and, for celeriac, 0.45 and 0.6 m in the two years, respectively. The simple measure of average root depth reflected the depth to which soil mineral N was depleted over the season by each of the three vegetables. Autumn... |
