Vertical rootpulling resistance in maize is related to nitrogen uptake and yield
Poor soil fertility and recurrent drought are major constriants to maize production in the West Africa savanna. The development of maize cultivars with superior rooting system to absorb nitrogen and water efficiently from the soil is desirable. However, direct measurement of root characteristics for...
