RELACIÓN ENTRE PROPIEDADES FÍSICAS DEL SUELO Y ALGUNAS CARACTERÍSTICAS DEL SISTEMA RADICAL DEL MAÍZ, CULTIVADO EN UN SUELO FLUVENTIC HAPLUSTOLL DE TEXTURA FRANCO-ARENOSA DE MARACAY, VENEZUELA RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SOME SOIL PHYSICAL PROPERTIES AND CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ROOT SYSTEM OF MAIZE GROWN IN A FLUVENTIS HAPLUSTOLL SOIL OF MARACAY, VENEZUELA

SUMMARY The establishment of a relationship between soil physical properties and the root system of maize, Zea mays L., made it possible to determine soil constraints beforehand. In this work, an evaluation was made of the relationship between radical length, root mass density (RMD), root length density (RLD), mean root diameter (RD), and specific root volume (EspVol and length EspeLen) of maize planted under minimum (MT) and conventional tillage (CT), with some
