Abstract: The present investigation on root distribution was carried out at Horticultural Research Centre, G.B. Pant University of Agriculture and Technology, Pantnagar, Udham Singh Nagar (Uttarakhand) during March, 2017 to October, 2017. The experiment was conducted on 8 years old trees of Kinnow mandarin (Citrus reticulata) on rough lemon rootstocks laid out in Randomized Block Design with two seasons ( spring and autumn ), three radial distance (0-60 cm, 60-120 cm, 120-180 cm) and three depths (0-20 cm, 20-40 cm, 40-60 cm). The study of root distribution pattern was carried for spring season and its interactions with different radial distance and soil depths. Similarly with autumn season the interactions effect with different radial distance and soil depths were studied. Interactions effect among different radial distance and soil depth. The spring season gave significantly higher dry weight of fibrous and thin roots. Most of the fibrous roots were present at 0-60 cm radial distance and 0-20 cm soil depth in spring season. Therefore the application of proper amount of fertilizers and irrigation water should be applied in this zone for fairly better absorption by the tree roots.
