Desenvolvimento Radicular de Macaúba (Acrocomia aculeata) em Dois Solos

Ensaios e Ciência: C. Biológicas, Agrárias e da Saúde, 2018
O sistema radicular das plantas tem papel fundamental na absorção dos nutrientes e na sua sustentação. As palmeiras possuem raízes pouco profundas, mas oferecem grande aporte ao seu sustento. Suas raízes formam um aglomerado de raízes secundárias, terciárias e quaternárias constituindo um bom sistema de absorção de água e de nutrientes.
