Abstract
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.
