Variation of root density (A) and relative rate increase of dry plant weight (B) values as effect of the application of agronomical practices aimed to mitigate the adverse effects of the ENSO phenomenon (El Niño and La Niña) under field conditions. T1, new tools (plants with genetic identity, free of pathogen and root damage and planted under conditions of low alteration of the micro-drainage networks) implemented under field conditions and the native avocado genotype with the best performance to waterlogging, drought, graft compatibility and resistance/tolerance to P. cinnamomi and Verticillium sp; T2, practices implemented in T1 + the native avocado genotype with the best performance for waterlogging conditions; T3, practices implemented in T1 + the native avocado genotype with the best performance under drought conditions; Control, traditional system implemented in avocado producing farms. Error bars represent the confidence intervals of the mean, validated by Dunnett’s, and Tukey–Kramer separation tests. No overlapping of the error bars indicates significant differences (p > 0.05).
