Soil resistance to root penetration is the main parameter to express the soil compaction degree and the facilities that it offers to root penetration. The purpose of this study was to characterize the ratio of the soil water content and root penetration resistance of a DystrocohesiveYellow Argissol in the Recôncavo Baiano (Bahia, Brazil). The study was carried out in a commercial citrus orchard with ‘Pera’ sweet orange (Citrus sinensis Osb.) grafted on ‘Rangpur’ lime (Citrus limonia Osbeck) with a green […]
