Soil physical attributes, i. e., soil water potential, soil oxygen, and soil strength, directly affect plant growth. The least limiting water range (LLWR) is the range of soil water content within which plant growth is least limited by water potential, aeration and mechanical resistance and has not been evaluated in tropical soils. The objective of this research was to characterize the LLWR of a Typic Hapludox cropped to corn under no-tillage. Seventy-two undisturbed soil samples were collected at the crop […]
