Abstract
A field experiment on root growth in winter triticale was carried out on the Experimental Farm in Bezek near Chełm in the years 1996–1999. Three triticale cultivars (Fidelio, Pinokio and Presto) were grown in six replications on a podzolic soil, formed from a loamy sand, at sowing rate of 400 grains per square meter. The root mass was determined in three development stages (tillering, heading and full maturity) in two points of every plot. The samples were taken with the use of a steel cylinder, covering 400 cm2 surface, down to the depth of 30 cm, and divided into three layers 10 cm each. The results were expressed as the air dry mass. The lowest root mass was recorded in the tillering phase, the maximal values were reached in the heading phase and later it was significantly reduced at maturity. The root mass accumulated by the cultivars was significantly higher in the 0-10 cm surface layer than in the deeper layers. The highest ratio of root mass to the mass of aboveground parts was in the tillering phase, significantly lower at heading and the lowest at full maturity. In the soil and climate conditions of the Lublin region, root mass of the winter triticale cultivars depended to the highest degree on overwintering and the resulting density of stand.
