The effects of different soil types on grapevine root distribution are presented and discussed for Loire Valley (France) conditions. Field studies with Cabernet franc/SO 4 root-stock vines showed four main rooting patterns in different soil types. A statistical analysis was used to determine the influence of several physical soil factors on root distribution. The soil water supply appears to have a beneficial effect on the root system. Conversely the penetrometer soil strength, bulk density and hydromorphic conditions are unfavourable for root development
