“…Hence, the irrigation and fertilization system can have a direct effect on root growth and development (Chilundo et al, 2017). This effect can be more pronounced by the irrigation system and fertilization strategy, which acts on the spatial distribution of moisture and nutrients in the soil profile as well as on the development and distribution of the root system (Santos et al, 2016).…”

HE EFFECT of long-term cultivation practices including fertilization through drip irrigation (fertigation) on some parameters of soil fertility using logical function was taken under consideration in this study. Representative soil samples were collected in 2021 from an area planted with avocado trees in 1997. Results showed that the change in soil fertility of the tested area at parallel and perpendicular to drip irrigation lines were 109% and 110% respectively relative to control treatment (non-fertigated soil) equal 100%. Based on the logical function, the total indices of the tested soil parameters related to soil fertility were 34.0, 36.5, 37.8 with soil fertility classes of L (Low), L and M (Medium) for control, at 1 and 2 m from tree in parallel to drip irrigation line respectively. Soil fertility classes at parallel and perpendicular to drip irrigation line were L and L respectively. It could be concluded that the soil fertility class of the investigated soil changed as affected by the long-term of drip fertigation by about 7, 11 and 12, 10 % relative to the nonfertigated soil at 1 and 2 m from tree in parallel and perpendicular to drip irrigation lines respectively.

This study evaluated the effects of fertigation, banana biomass as a soil covering under drip and micro-sprinkler irrigation system on the root growth and distribution and their relations with chemical soil attributes, soil water availability, and productivity. This work was conducted in a field with banana 2.5 × 2.0 m spacing and irrigated every two days using a drip and micro-sprinkler irrigation system during the first crop cycle. The experiment followed a random block design with six treatments, two irrigation systems, two fertilization methods of fertigation and side-dressing, as well as two cultivation types with and without soil covering. Roots were collected from each plot using soil monoliths and digitalization allowed the determination of root length density, and diameter at several distances from the plant and at different soil depths. Total root length, density, and distribution by diameter were evaluated based on the treatment interactions with respect to the distance from the plant and the soil depth. Our results showed that the combination of the irrigation system, fertilizer application and soil covering influenced root growth and distribution. In addition, we found that the better soil conditions for root growth were in drip or micro-sprinkler systems with fertigation and cultivated biomass covering.
