| Description |
The root systems of 4 large and 4 small, mature castor (Ricinus communis) cv. Acuna plants were excavated. Large and small plants had similar root:shoot ratios but roots of small plants were longer per unit weight. Soil factors in or near the surface of the C1 horizon, probably higher gravel and carbonate content, apparently restricted root penetration.
