58 words

This research established the water balance resulting from the clay irrigation for beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) and Amaranths (hypochondriacus) grown under different plant density per pot and different precedent soil moisture. Results revealed that clay pot irrigation gave good growth for amaranths, under the different conditions, while the same technique did not provide similar results on phaseolus beans.
