Abstract

The studies on the root distribution pattern of nine year old bearing seedling trees of Bael were carried out during spring season of 1997 at Horticultural Research Centre, Patharchatta of G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar. The results showed significant variation in distribution pattern of various categories of roots. The maximum concentration of active roots was observed at 60-120 cm radial distance from the tree trunk and at 0-20 cm depth from the ground level. Therefore, the irrigation water and fertilizers should be applied in the area of maximum active root concentration and deep digging of basins should be avoided.
