Soil reinforcement potential of multifunctional crop plants on arable and non-arable tropical soils

Soil reinforcement potential of multifunctional crop plants on arable and non-arable tropical soils

Root systems of grasses provide cost-effective, sustainable solution for soil stabilization, yet this potential in the roots of common arable crops remains largely unexplored. The objectives were to (i) evaluate the root tensile strength (Tr) of common arable crops (maize and sorghum) and a fodder p...
