Compaction reduced water use from deeper layers and decreased grain yield during both years. Compared with lower initial water storage, higher initial water storage in the profile resulted in more vigorous plants, deeper rooting, greater water use from lower soil layers and higher yields KW - Soil compaction KW - Rooting pattern KW - Moisture use KW - Seeding-time soil water KW - Dryland wheat production.
