Soil amendment with biochar increases maize yields in a semi-arid region by improving soil quality and root growth (2016, background): “In a 5-year field trial in the Swiss midlands, ~80% of the total length of maize roots was in the top 40 cm of soil with maximum values in the 5–10-cm layer (Qin et al. 2006).”
Tillage practices affect biomass and grain yield through regulating root growth, root-bleeding sap and nutrients uptake in summer maize (2014, background): “As in many previous eports, the spatial pattern of root systems in maize may be arkedly influenced by tillage (Karunatilake et al., 2000; Chassot t al., 2001; Qin et al., 2006), which is the most important role in he soil–plant systems.”
