Abstract
Soil-plant relationships of natural jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis (Link) Schneider) populations were investigated by analyzing soils and young tissues of three jojoba ecotypes at five sites in Baja California, Mexico. Jojoba occurred in non-saline to slightly saline and near-neutral to alkaline soils. Concentrations of K, Na and B in soil saturation extracts were normal for arid-zone soils, while Ca and Mg were low. Elemental concentrations in young jojoba tissues were generally within the sufficiency ranges proposed for commercial plantations. Results suggest that jojoba excludes Na+ from tissues even when rooting medium salinity is low.
