Génie végétal contre l'érosion des berges de cours d'eau dans un contexte de changement climatique : quelles nouvelles espèces utiliser ? [PDF]

, 2011
National audienceL'érosion des berges est un phénomène naturel participant activement aux processus de dynamique fluviale. Toutefois, afin de protéger des enjeux riverains (habitations, infrastructures de transport,) il est parfois nécessaire de fixer ...

Diversity in root growth responses to moisture deficit in young faba bean (Vicia faba L.) plants [PDF]

, 2018
Background Soil moisture deficiency causes yield reduction and instability in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) production. The extent of sensitivity to drought stress varies across accessions originating from diverse moisture regimes of the world.

Effect of tillage method on early root growth of Miscanthus

Annals of Applied Biology, Volume 187, Issue 2, Page 192-204, September 2025.
In‐situ, sub‐soil cameras were used to capture root growth and turnover during the establishment period for field‐grown Miscanthus planted with minimum tillage and no‐tillage methods. No tillage promoted higher root length density and thinner roots in the subsoil, providing potential for improved resource acquisition and soil carbon sequestration.

A mechanistic model for electrical conduction in soil–root continuum: a virtual rhizotron study [PDF]

, 2018
Abstract. Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT) has become an important tool to study soil water fluxes in cropped field. ERT results translates to water content via empirical pedophysical relations that take soil physical properties into account, usually ignoring the impact of roots. Studies shows high root dense soils behaves quite differently than

Effects of Biochar Application on Winter Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Roots Under Long‑Term Drought Conditions

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 2017
The main objective of this paper was to evaluate the effect of applying biochar and activated carbon on winter wheat affected by drought in model laboratory conditions. Cultivation tests of the soil‑microorganisms‑plant (winter wheat) system were focused

Controlled traffic farming increased crop yield, root growth, and nitrogen supply at two organic vegetable farms [PDF]

, 2019
Increased farm machinery weight in agricultural production results in soil compaction. Controlled traffic farming (CTF) restricts traffic to permanent lanes, thereby creating traffic free beds for crop production.

Rice Root Reactions to Soil Amendments and Enhanced Soil Water Retention: A Scanner-Based Rhizotron Approach for Optimizing Semi-Dry Cultivation

Soil Systems
Drought reduces soil moisture and impairs root function, posing a significant threat to rice production in arid regions. The influence of soil amendments on early rice root development under semi-dry cultivation remains insufficiently characterized ...

“Rhizoponics”: a novel hydroponic rhizotron for root system analyses on mature Arabidopsis thaliana plants

Plant Methods, 2015
Well-developed and functional roots are critical to support plant life and reach high crop yields. Their study however, is hampered by their underground growth and characterizing complex root system architecture (RSA) therefore remains a challenge. In the last few years, several phenotyping methods, including rhizotrons and x-ray computed tomography ...

Identification of Striga hermonthica-resistant Upland Rice Varieties in Sudan and Their Resistance Phenotypes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Rice has become a major staple cereal in sub-Saharan Africa. Currently, upland rice cultivation is expanding particularly in rainfed areas where the root parasitic weed Striga hermonthica, a major constraint to cereal production, is endemic.

A scanner system for high-resolution quantification of variation in root growth dynamics of Brassica rapa genotypes [PDF]

, 2014
The potential exists to breed for root system architectures that optimize resource acquisition. However, this requires the ability to screen root system development quantitatively, with high resolution, in as natural an environment as possible, with high
