| Popis: | Roots of ‘Mailing (M) 26’ and ‘Malus robusta (MR) 5’ were less hardy than stems in winter; hardened more slowly in fall; and dehardened later in spring. In 1967 roots were hardier than in 1968, despite slightly higher soil temperatures. This difference in hardiness was associated with much less rainfall in 1967 leading to a lower level of root hydration. While overall soil temperature-hardiness relationships were unclear, short-term changes in root hardiness were correlated with soil temperature during the preceding week. Hardening in apple roots appeared to be influenced by soil temperature and level of root hydration. |
