Relationships Between Water Loss and Root Parameters of Corn (Zea mays L.) Grown in Different Growing Media

Abstract

Experiment was carried out to investigate relationships between water loss and some root parameters of corn (Zea mays L.) grown in different growing media under greenhouse conditions. Four different mixtures including at different ratios soil, perlite and peat were used. Water losses from the pots were measured during growing period. After harvesting the plants, root weight, root lenght, root diameter and root area were determined. Water loss was decreased with adding of the perlite and peat to the soil, furthermore, root weight and root lenght were decreased. A positive correlation between water loss and root weight was found at significant level (P<0.01).
