A healthy, well developed root sys-
tem is necessary for maximum utili-
zation of soil moisture and nutrients,
yet very little research has been done
to study the influence of cultural prac-
tices on root growth and development.
One of the primary reasons for the
lack of information in this field, was
the absence of an efficient and accu-
rate technique to study root develop-
ment of plants throughout the growing
season.
In recent years, an acceptable tech-
nique using soil placement of radio-
active phosphorus has been developed
and used successfully to study root
growth. This technique has been usedrecently by many scientists to collect
accurate data not possible before on
growth and function of plant roots.
One area of interest on the High
Plains is the effect of moisture levels
on cotton root growth and develop-
ment. Research in this area could
provide information useful in water
management, fertility placement and
other cultural areas.
A test was initiated at the Lubbock
Experiment Station in 1963 using the
radioactive phosphorus technique to
study cotton root growth under dif-
ferent moisture levels. Preliminary
result$ indicated that root develop-
ment in cotton grown under a highI&rfkrQArwwi ~..
