( MacCarthy et al., 1990 ). HS can be characterized as humic acid, fulvic acid, and humin on the basis of solubility in water as a function of pH ( Varanini and Pinton, 1995 ). The reported effects of HS on soil physiochemical properties include stabilization
), climate factors (e.g., temperature, solar radiation, and rainfall), and vegetation cover. Soil water availability may also affect evapotranspiration by reducing water uptake ( Morgan et al., 2006 ). However, studies investigating relationships between soil
addressed in a semiarid environment. Here, the objective was to determine how different rootstocks and water limitations affect nutrient uptake and partitioning for ‘Honeycrisp’ apple grown in field conditions in an irrigated, semiarid climate. Additionally
uptake by the fruit. Thus, any net water uptake necessarily increases fruit volume and subjects the skin to additional strain ( Considine and Brown, 1981 ). If the limit of extensibility of the fruit skin is exceeded, the fruit cracks. On the basis of

lower frequency of arbuscules in roots, this change in AMF colonization was not associated with a change in vine water status nor was it related to lower uptake of other nutrients. It can be concluded that the small negative effect of foliar P sprays

the whole-plant scale, some species partition relatively more biomass to roots to increase water uptake ( Jaramillo et al., 2013 ; Lynch, 2007a , 2007b ) as a way to maintain plant water status and photosynthesis under drought conditions. This
