“…In the course of determining the dry weight, washed and cleaned roots are dried up in an oven at 105 0 c for approximately 10 to 20 hours, subject to the number of roots (Bohm, 1979), or dehydrating the roots in an oven at an extensive time between 60 to 75°C and this has the benefit of stopping roots from being crushed (Fageria et al, 2006). Even though root weight is a suitable parameter for describing total mass of roots in soil, it is however not very good parameter for describing absorbing ability of roots in soil (Pradhan et al, 2012). According to Bohm (1979), good roots epitomize only an insignificant portion of entire root weight but are the greatest vigorous percentage of the root arrangement.…”

The longitudinal arrangement of root systems, as well as length, diameter, and hairs are referred to as root architecture. Plant root system plays key role in regulating plant growth and development. Root tuber crops (RTCs) that are vegetatively propagated offer food security for enormous populations. Root morphology is affected by soil, climatic, and plant factors. Parameters normally used to express root growth and distributions are root number, weight, surface area, volume, diameter, length, and the number of tips. A number of factors have been examined to influence root- shoot ratio; examples are deprivation of Nitrogen, and low supplies of Phosphorus, Potassium, and Magnesium. Most methods for measuring root growth parameter is labour intensive. Hence, new and improved methods for measuring root growth in-situ have now been developed. Researches in crop physiology are always in progress. Hence, crop physiologists should keep themselves abreast of the most recent findings in their field of specialization.
