    Angleton grass (Dicanthium aristatum) is the dominant Gramineae specie in the Sinu River Valley. Its root growth is limited by soil compaction, a mixed effect of high density and penetration resistance. With the aim to determine the effect of vertical tillage and fertilization over root biomass, soil density and penetration resistance, four different kinds of grasses (Mulato II, Toledo, Angleton and Estrella) were established on an inceptisol soil located at Turipan谩 Research Center, in Ceret茅, C贸rdoba, Colombia. Four vertical tillage treatments with three repeats were evaluated: two with rigid chisel, 30 cm - 60 cm and two with grassland renovator, horizontal distance 30 and 60 cm, and 30 cm depth. Two levels of fertilization were evaluated: F1: 300 kg ha-1 of DAP (18% N - 46% P2 O5 ), 200 kg ha-1 of KCl (60% K2 O) and 150 kg ha-1 of urea (46% N) and F2 : 50% of the previous described treatment. In a split plot design experiment, the effect of vertical tillage and fertilization during 18 months over soil density, penetration resistance and root biomass growth were tested by ANOVA and average Duncan comparison. No independent effect of tillage or fertilization on grasses was observed, but there are significant interaction between tillage and grasses, fertilization and grasses and tillagefertilization and grasses. It is concluded that differences in the variables soil density, penetration resistance and root biomass were due to grazing effect and tillage-fertilization-grass interaction.La biomasa radical de los pastos predominantes en el Valle del r铆o Sin煤 est谩 limitada por la compactaci贸n del suelo, caracterizada por la alta densidad y resistencia a la penetraci贸n. Con el prop贸sito de determinar el efecto de la labranza vertical y fertilizaci贸n sobre la biomasa radical, densidad del suelo y resistencia a la penetraci贸n, se establecieron los pastos Mulato II, Toledo, 脕ngleton y Estrella en un inceptisol del Centro de Investigaci贸n Turipan谩, ubicado en Ceret茅, C贸rdoba, Colombia; bajo un dise帽o de parcelas subdivididas con tres repeticiones. Los tratamientos fueron cuatro sistemas de labranza vertical (dos con cincel r铆gido a 30 y 60 cm y dos con renovador de praderas a 30 y 60 cm de distancia horizontal, ambas a 30 cm de profundidad) y dos niveles de fertilizaci贸n (F1= 300 kg ha-1 de DAP (18% N - 46% P2O5), 200 kg ha-1 de KCl (60% K2O) y 150 kg ha-1 de 煤rea (46% N) y F2 = 50% de las dosis anteriores. Los resultados a los 18 meses despu茅s de aplicado los tratamientos no mostraron efecto de la labranza ni de la fertilizaci贸n en los pastos; mas s铆 hubo interacciones significativas entre labranza y pastos, fertilizaci贸n y pastos, labranza - fertilizaci贸n y pastos. Se concluye que las diferencias en las variables densidad del suelo, resistencia a la penetraci贸n y biomasa radical se encontraron por efecto de los pastos y por la interacci贸n labranza - fertilizaci贸n - pasto
