Strong subsurface layers of soil can confine root systems to shallower soil layers, thus limiting water uptake from deeper layers. ...
Here, we explore some research into novel irrigation ideas. Water Distribution by Sub-surface Drip Influences Root Distribution Drip irrigation uses the least amount of water, so new methods in this technique are being developed, including sub-surface drip systems. In sub-surface drip, the tubes are buried around twelve centimeters below the ...
The Importance of Root Analysis Root analysis is important not only to improve and increase food production but also for environment protection and fighting climate change. ...
In order to perform all their tasks, root systems have developed different morphology, topology, distribution, and architecture. ...
The article details their 2 year study using the CI-600 In-Situ Root Imager and free RootSnap! analysis software which make up our minirhizotron system, to analyze root growth patterns in native and invasive plant species. The team was able to study the entire life cycle of subject species by installing CI-600 tubes into study plots prior to planting, and taking ...
Fine roots are of great importance in the uptake of water and nutrients from, and input of, carbon to the soil. ...
Although there is uncertainty in measured soil parameters and root distributions, their effects on simulated plant growth have been much less studied. ...
