Distribuição e profundidade do sistema radicular da videira.

Abstract

This work was carried out at Jales, SP, in order to measure the effective root depth of grapevine crop. It was collected consecutive samples of root 0,5 m apart at the crop row and between the crop rows and every 0,10m apart until 1,0 m depth. The results allow us to conclude that the effective depth for irrigation purposes is 0,55 m, and the sensors should be placed 0,5 m between rows, or preferentially, 1,0 m along the plant row where it was observed a higher concentration of root.
