Abstract: An experiment was conducted to study the effect of NCPCs, urea and nitrification inhibitor on root parameters in rice and wheat crops under elevated CO2 and temperature condition. In general the elevation in atmospheric CO2 concentration caused significant increase in root parameters. In wheat crop, under both elevated CO2 and temperature conditions the root length was found to be highest under (NCPC+ Efficient NI-1) treatment with 3013 and 2603 cm, respectively. Root length of wheat crop under treatment applied NCPC with nitrification Schiff base -1 and NCPC with nitrification Schiff base-2 were at par with each other in both ambient and elevated condition. The studies showed that at elevated CO2 concentration in the rhizosphere environment is supposed to be modified due to higher C- fluxes through exudates, mucilages, mucigel etc. Similar results are observed for root surface area. The maximum root volume was found under treatment receiving NCPC with nitrification (Schiff base 1) under ambient (5.12 cm3) and elevated CO2 (5.45 cm3) and temperature (4.52 cm3) conditions in rice crop. In all, the root growth parameters increased when NCPCs applied along with nitrification inhibitor (Schiff base-2).
