Table 3.
Root mass of five legume genotypes after 14 and 35 days of treatment in control, fully-drained soil; waterlogged, water table 10 mm below soil surface; recovery, after 14 days of waterlogging pots were allowed to drain. Means associated with different letters are significantly different (P < 0.05) by Tukey's test. Values are the means of four replicates.
