Peach Tree (P. persica) consists of two main structural parts: a epigeal, formed by the trunk that supports the cauline system, and a part which is the hypogeous root system. The latter, according to the structure and specific functions morfoanatómica presents various types of roots: absorbent, transi-tional and driving. The feeder roots (translucent whitish) are physiologically very active and represent between 80 and 85% of the entire root system. Although the roots of fruit trees in a pattern develop genetic, some environ-mental conditions, morphological variations in their development. In this paper we study the density of the absorbing root system in the cultivation of peach (cv. Dorado) to 10 cm deep, using the technique of the cylinder volume, ac-cording to soil management using 2 types of coverage (live cover, mulch ) weed control with herbicide and a traditional reference tillage. The results showed that coverage by dead plant material on the soil (10 cm deep) under the diameter of the tree (160 cm), led to greater root development evidenced in a higher density.
