		The root morphology of Bixa orellana L. is typical of a dicot root system with a central tap root holding several laterals.
		The present study showed a significantly positive correlation between the N in the rooting medium to the P and K. This observation agrees with Black (1968) who observed that the supply of N in the growth medium is a major factor controlling the distribution of dry matter in plants.
		Moreover, all the root structural changes that occurred in Bixa orellana in response to increasing N availability gives us tools that can be used to monitor why some plant species are less competitive in occupying a site, or have reductions in biomass increment, or perhaps have increased mortality.
