Harvesting the alfalfa by mowing the entire crop area destroys the insect population, but this can be avoided by mowing in strips so that part of the growth remains. [ 8 ] Owing to its deep root system, it helps to improve soil nitrogen fertility and protect from soil erosion . [ 9 ]
The deep fibrous root systems of switchgrass left a deep rich layer of organic matter in the soils of the Midwest, making those mollisol soils some of the most productive in the world. By returning switchgrass and other perennial prairie grasses as an agricultural crop, many marginal soils may benefit from increased levels of organic material ...
The cork oak develops a taproot that reaches a depth of 1 to 2 m (3 + 1 ⁄ 4 to 6 + 1 ⁄ 2 ft) and from which several meters long, horizontally running side roots extend. [9] The trees can live over 400 years, and harvested specimens can be 150 to 200 years old.

Vetiver is most closely related to Sorghum while sharing many morphological characteristics with other fragrant grasses, such as lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus), citronella (Cymbopogon nardus, C. winterianus), and palmarosa (Cymbopogon martinii).
Lomatium roots range from woody taproots to more fleshy underground tuberous-thickened roots.The plants are green and grow the most during the spring when water is available, and many species then set seed and dry out completely above ground before the hottest part of the year, while storing the energy they gained from photosynthesizing while water was available to them in their deep roots.
The plant may reach heights of 4–6 metres, with leaves and roots much larger than Colocasia esculenta. The sagittate leaves are up to 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m) long by up to four feet (120 cm) in width, borne atop petioles or stalks up to 19 ft 6 in (5.94 m) in length and four inches (10 cm) wide.
