Root distribution pattern of pomegranate in different soil types

Root distribution of `Starkspur Supreme Delicious' on nine apple (Malus domestics Borkh.) rootstock grown in two different soil types in the 1980 NC-140 Uniform Apple Regional Rootstock Trial (Michigan and Ohio sites) was determined using the trench profile method. Based on the number of roots counted per tree, rootstock could be separated into five groups for the Marlette soil from most to least: MAC.24 > OAR1 > M.26EMLA = M.9EMLA > M.7EMLA = 0.3 = M.9 = MAC.9 > M.27EMLA. For the Canfield soil, rootstock were ranked for number of roots counted from most to least as follows: MAC.24 > OAR 1. MAC.9 = M.7EMLA > M.26EMLA = O.3 = M.9 EMLA = M.9. Root distribution pattern by depth was affected by soil type with roots fairly well distributed throughout the Marlette soil but restricted primarily above the fragipan in the Canfield soil. Two rootstock performed differently from others in adapting to soil conditions at the different sites. MAC.9 had the second lowest number of total roots/dm2 in the Marlette soil yet the second most in the Canfield soil, while the opposite was found for M.9EMLA. Regression analysis demonstrated positive correlations between number of roots counted and vigor and yield of the scion.

Effects of three soil types and three rootstocks on the performance of Valencia orange trees as measured by root distribution, leaf composition and yield were studied. The majority of roots were concentrated in the top 60 cm of soil. Trees on Murray sand had twice as many roots as on Barmera sand 'shallow phase', or as on Moorook sandy loam below 90 cm. Chlorophyll and iron levels were lowest in new 3-month-old leaves and increased with age. Levels of zinc, manganese, magnesium, calcium and chloride showed similar trends. Trees on Moorook sandy loam were not chlorotic in spite of the low chlorophyll in their leaves and the lowest production.
