The research investigated the effect of three tillage methods: A - ploughing, B ploughless cultivation and C - direct drilling, on the distribution and dry weight of plant roots in sandy loam soil. More abundant roots were observed in winter wheat in direct-drilling objects and in spring barley exposed to ploughing. Dry matter of roots was higher in the 0-10 cm than in the 10-20 and 20-30 cm layers. The root distribution of cultivated plants was similar.
