【Objective】 To study the changes of cotton root morphology and the response to mineral elements in different soil depths and analyze the regulation of mineral elements on root morphology in the hope of providing theoretical support for the construction of reasonable cotton root configuration. 【Method】 The root length, root surface area, root volume, root biomass, root nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium,calcium, magnesium and sulfur of 37 cotton varieties were tested, and according to the formula, the specific root length, specific root area, root volume and root density were calculated. Finally, the regulation and control relationship between mineral elements and root morphology was studied. 【Result】In 0 - 10 cm soil, due to the action of nitrogen, the specific root length, specific root area and specific root volume increased, and the growth of root density was slightly inhibited. In 10-20 cm soil, nitrogen promoted the specific root length, increased the specific root area, and inhibited the growth of root density and the increase of specific root volume. In 20-30 cm soil, the effect of nitrogen on root length, specific root area and root density was not obvious, but the contrastive root volume showed a negative correlation. Nitrogen showed a positive correlation with root length, specific root area, specific root volume, and root density in 30-50 cm soil. In the soil of 50-60 cm, there was a negative correlation between root length, specific root area, and specific root volume and root density. Principal component analysis showed that the correlation between the first principal component and nitrogen element, specific root length, specific root area, and specific volume was higher. The second principal component was more correlated with root density, and the third principal component was mainly related to phosphorus. The correlation between potassium and potassium was high. In addition, the correlation between the phosphorus and potassium elements was higher than that of the first main component, and the correlation between the nitrogen element and the third main component was high. 【Conclusion】 Under different soil depths, the root length, specific root area and specific root volume gradually increased, and the nitrogen content per unit mass root decreased continuously. The root morphological traits were mainly regulated by nitrogen, and the phosphoric and potassium elements had little effect on the regulation of root morphological traits.
