Genotypic variation for root pulling resistance in potato and its relationship with yield under water deficit stress

An extensively distributed root system may reduce the probability of crop failure during periods of restricted water supply . A quantitative measure of root distribution in the soil profile, i .e . pulling resistance of roots (PR), was tested at two moderately droughted tropical field sites . A tota...
