dc.description.abstractA two year study (1997 and 1998) on root distribution pattern in young arecanut palms as influenced by different methods of irrigation indicated that highest root dry weight and root/shoot ratio were observed in ferti-drip method with two fold increase in number of feeder roots over drip method and more than four fold increase in number of feeder roots over basin method. Higher concentration of root dry mass was observed within 40 cm radius from the bole in ferti-drip (79%), drip (76%) and basin (82%) irrigation methods with lower proportion of root mass in subsequent layers. This suggests that all methods of irrigation have resulted in shallow root development. It was observed that horizontal spread of roots was influenced by nutrient and moisture availability pattern. Horizontal root spread was more in case of ferti-drip (75 cm) and drip methods (71 cm) than in basin method. Vertical spread of the root system was more or less same with all methods of irrigation (43-58 cm). There was a shift in the rooting pattern of arecanut palms with different methods of irrigation. Root mass per unit area was higher along dripping point plane than between dripping points both in case of ferti-drip and drip irrigation.en_US
