Book excerpt: Root length density (RLD) distributions of budded D24 durian clone grown in different environmental conditions were studied. Root densities declined both horizontally towards the edge of the canopy and vertically with soil depths. Relatively about 34-49% of total RLD were found within the first quarter of the canopy radius while 20-30% were located in the second and third quarter. Only less than 15% of total RLD were found in the last quarter of the canopy radius. Vertically, about 72-87% of RLD were located in the top 45 cm from the soil surface with about 31-42% were on the top first 15 cm. Penetration of roots were small beyond the 75 cm soil depth. This study showed that RLD distribution of budded D24 durian clone were dependent on the environment and results also showed that the pattern did conform to some general pattern of distribution.
