An experiment was conducted in the greenhouse of the Soil Science Department, Dhaka University to study the effect of four levels of soil bulk density (1.46, 1.51, 1.55 and 1.63 g/cm3) at five soil moisture levels (7, 10, 15, 20 and 25%) on the root development of wheat. At lower moisture levels (7...
