Description The motlng pmnk of lndhrldual plgeonpea and sorghum plants were compared
In monocmpplng and Intercmpplng, under different planting densltles, by use of a slmple
dmulatlon appmach. Plgeonpea dld not show any characteristic advantages of root
development over sorghum, pmbably due to the presence of a hard stony layer below 30 cm
whlch consequently conflned roo1 pmllferatlon wlthln the sutfam layer of 8011. The rootlng
depth was unaffected by the cropplng pattern. The root pmllfetatlon near the plant base
Increased wlth plant age and was severely reduced by lntercmpplng In case of plgeonpea
The lntercmpped sorghum had less mots lnltlally but attained a slmllar denslty as
monocmpped sorghum at later stages. It Is demonstrated that root development Is
conslderably affected by the planting denslty.
