Abstract:<p>Root exudates stimulate microbial activity and functions as a binding and adhesive agent that increases aggregate stability in the rhizosphere. The exudates produced from plant roots and microorganisms in the rhizosphere play a significant role in the formation of rhizosheath. Rhizosheaths comprises the soil that adheres to the roots with the help of root hair and mucilage even when it is removed from the surrounding soil. Low surface tension and great viscosity stabilize soil aggregates in su… Show more
