Soil physical strength rather than excess ethylene reduces root elongation of Eucalyptus seedlings in mechanically impeded sandy soils

Seedling establishment in heavily compact soils is hampered by poor root growth caused by soil chemical or physical factors. This study aims to determine the role of ethylene in regulating root elongation through mechanically impeded sandy soils using Eucalyptus todtiana F. Muell seedlings. Concentr...
