- Abstract:
-
Winter wheat is the most important cover on slope farmland. In order to understand the root distribution of winter wheat at whole stages on slope cropland, the winter wheat root system was investigated on slope farmland. The root weight density, root length density, and diameter of root were measured on different slope farmland and different level of soil on slope farmland. The objective of the study is to confirm the distribution of winter wheat root system on slope land. The results showed that the root weight density, length density and diameter of root have main relationship with the soil depths and the slope on farmland. The the maximum value of root weight density was observed on 0—5 cm, and root weight density decreased as the soil layers getting deep. The weight system density also increased as the growth stages and would be up to the maximum value at maturity. The weight density also was the maximum on the slope of 10°. The root length density was the maximum value at 0—5 cm, decreased as the layer getting deep. The length density increased with the slope getting larger. The maximum value was on the slope of 15°. The average root diameter decreased as the soil layers. The maximum value was on the jointing stage, and declined with the growth stages. The maximum value was on the slope of 10°. The conclusion showed that soil layers had positive linear correlation with the root weight density, length density and diameter. And the slope and growing stage had the linear correlation with the root weight density, length density and diameter.
