2 RHIZOSPHERE LABORATORY The role of roots & the rhizosphere in the growth & yielding of fruit plants. Development of sustainable methods of cultivation & fertilization of fruit plants for the production of high quality fruit and to increase the natural fertility of the soil using PGPR rhizobacteria, AMF fungi and other components of the soil biosphere.
3 INTRODUCTION Biochar (47 t/ha, 5 kg/tree) or a mixture of biochar and compost (47 t/ha:10 t/ha), applied in an orchard replanted with 1 yo apple cv. Fuji on M26 increased trunk diameter by 5% and 10%, respectively, compared to the control [Ayles et al. 2014]. Application of biochar (50 t/ha) has positive effect on growth and nutrition of M26 apple rootstocks, compared to control [Street et al. 2014]. A hypha of a mycorrhizal fungus on the surface of an apple-tree root.
4 Application of biochar from coniferous trees significantly increased growth of peach trees grafted on rootstocks susceptible to replant disease. Biochar may alleviate replant disease in peach trees [Atucha and Litus 2015]. Bacteria in root cells of a peach tree. Hyphae of a mycorrhizal fungus on the surface of a root of a peach tree treated with biochar.
5 In strawberry, biochar induces a systemic response to foliar fungal pathogens such as Botrytis cinerea, Colletotrichum acutatum or Podosphaera aphanis. Plants growing in a substrate with a 3% addition of biochar exhibited the lowest disease severity compared to control plants [Meller Harel et al. 2012]. Application of biochar to a fertile soil reduced the number of deformed and damaged fruits, in comparison with control [Jael et al. 2012].
6 BIOCHAR USED IN THE EXPERIMENTS Derived from waste biomass wood chips of conifers Biochar particle size up to 50 mm Produced by fast pyrolysis 280 C Organic matter content 80% Organic carbon content 20% Moisture content at the time of application 15% Mineral content in the fresh mass of sample ph (in H 2 O) 8.4 Nitrogen (N) 0.64% Phosphorus (P 2 O 5 ) 0.28% Potassium (K 2 O) 0.75% Calcium (CaO) 2.52% Magnesium (MgO) 0.16% MAGNIFIED VIEW OF BIOCHAR
7 GREENHOUSE EXPERIMENT WITH STRAWBERRY The strawberry plants were planted in sand or in soil mixed with 2 doses of biochar. All the plants were equally fertilized with standard NPK fertilizer. Two levels of biochar (1 and 2.5 g/plant) were assessed in terms of their effect on plant growth and development, as compared with the control. Control Biochar level 1 Biochar level 2 Control Biochar level 1 Biochar level 2
8 Biochar used in the cultivation of potted strawberry plants increased the number of leaves compared with the control.
9 Application of 2.5 g of biochar markedly increased the weight of the root system of strawberry plants growing in the sand (by 20%), as well as those growing in the soil (by 34%). The use of 2.5 g of biochar increased the formation of strawberry crowns.

12 ORCHARD EXPERIMENT WITH APPLE AND PEACH TREES Apple and peach trees were planted in the spring of Biochar from coniferous wood chips (with a moisture content of 15%, Fluid S.A.) was applied at a dose of 1.6 kg per tree in the spring of Biochar was sprinkled on an area of 2 m 2 in the form of a ring and mixed with the top layer of soil. Each combination consisted of 4 replicates, each replicate of 3 trees. Florovit NPK fertilizer: N - 5%, P 2 O 5-3%, K 2 O - 2%, OA - 30%.

17 MICROSCOPIC STUDY OF THE ROOTS OF APPLE, PEACH AND NECTARINE TREES TREATED WITH BIOCHAR METHODS Comparative morphological assessment of the root system of each species was performed using a Canon PowerShot SX10 camera. Representative samples were treated with hot (60 C) 1% NaOH for measurements of the thickness of roots and vascular bundles with an Olympus SZX 16 stereoscopic microscope and Cell BR program. Examination of differences between objects at the level of tissues and cells was conducted with histological preparations of roots fixed in CrAF (chromic acid, acetic acid, formalin), dehydrated in ethanol and embeded in paraffin, cut with microtome to 15 µm thick cross-sections and stained with safranine and fast green were made.
