The Soil Sensor
Maintain adequate soil moisture Changing incorrect irrigation intervals in citrus
The upper soil contains a high level of Oxygen and nutrients. Here, the tree develops a dense root system. The Fine root hairs in this area are responsible for most of the plant’s water and nutrient uptake. These fine roots are very sensitive to lack of water on one hand, but also to excessive irrigation that deprives them of oxygen on the other. It’s very important to maintain soil moisture balance in this zone.
The deep soil usually contains very little Oxygen and so, fine root hairs can’t develop there. Instead, much thicker and stronger roots develop in this area. Those thick deep roots have an important roll in stabilizing the tree, balancing the canopy weight and prevent it from falling when strong wind blows.
