“…At the LSIFG, studies were carried out to estimate effects of fertigation and sawdust mulch on the root system distribution of rootstock B9, along with determination of productivity and mineral nutrient removal of scion cultivars grafted on it (Surikova et al, 2011). Trials with different mulching methods are continuing in apple, sour cherry and blackcurrant plantings, as well as on the effect of mulch on soil activity in strawberry plantations.…”

Development of fruit growing and fruit science in Latvia has always been closely linked to the development of the whole country. After the founding of the independent Latvia state in 1918, fruit growing developed rapidly. Although in the Soviet times the situation was not favourable for quality fruit growing, research and breeding continued with good results. After Latvia regained independence, private land property rights were restored, and interest in intensive orchard establishment and growing technologies increased rapidly, which demanded change in the research focus. At present, the Latvia State Institute of Fruit-Growing is the leading institution in this field, working in cooperation with Pūre Horticultural Research Centre, Latvian Plant Protection Research Centre, Institute of Agrobiotechology, and Faculty of Food Technology, Latvia University of Agriculture, Laboratory of Plant Mineral Nutrition, Institute of Biology, University of Latvia. Research is carried out in the following directions: breeding and cultivar evaluation; genetics and molecular biology; plant pathology and entomology; orchard management; experimental processing and storage.

The research objective was to determine the interrelationship between the root system of the eight year old apple trees (Malus domestica Borkh.) and the physical and chemical properties of the soil. Research was performed at the Moara Domneasca Research Station, located in the Romanian Plain, with the annual mean temperature of 10.5˚C and annual mean rainfall of 548 mm. The soil is Chromic Luvisol with (clayey) argicBt horizon. To determine the root system distribution and the root section area in July 2015 we sampled two soil profiles from the apple plantation and performed comparative measurements with a 10/10 cm biometrical frame. Measurements were performed on the root system of Florina and Topaz (Vf) varieties, both grafted on M9 rootstock. Although the two varieties had different growth vigour and were grafted on the same low-vigour M9 rootstock, rooting was normal. Nevertheless, root system distribution was different, depending on the specific vigour of the variety: higher (1363.83 mm 2) in the Florina variety and lower and more superficial (451.6 mm 2) in Topaz (Vf). Comparing soil permeability to water (K sat.-mm/h) with the models for the root system distribution in the two varieties we noticed a relatively stable correlation.
