A Root Observation and Sampling Chamber (Rhizotron) for Pot Studies
Plant and Soil, 1985A plant root observation chamber (rhizotron) was designed to examine soil-grown roots under a stereomicroscope and to sample roots and soil during the growth period of a pot study. The mini-rhizotrons are inexpensive to construct and are suitable for replicated, multitreatment experiments.

The Rhizotron as a Tool for Root Research
Advances in Agronomy, 1982Publisher Summary This chapter discusses some techniques for observing and recording root system parameters. Many techniques have been used to increase the accessibility of plant roots. The chapter concentrates on design features and operating characteristics of the Auburn, Alabama, and Ames, Iowa rhizotrons where the authors have conducted root ...

A Controlled‐Temperature Rhizotron
Crop Science, 1990Growth of roots deep in the soil profile often is essential for continued water uptake by dryland crops in subhumid climates. Study of root growth in these situations must be conducted in field‐scale volumes of soil, to allow normal plant development. Additionally, given the importance of temperature to all biological processes, the thermal regime of ...

Rhizotron: A Unique Technique for Root Study: A Review
Agricultural ReviewsRoots, which holds the plant in the soil and responsible for water and nutrient uptake is the most unique plant part essential for survival. Root characters like length, diameter and surface area are the important parameters that have to be measured for evaluating root growth.

Rhizotrons: Their Development and Use in Agricultural Research
Agronomy Journal, 1994AbstractRhizotrons are tools for making nondestructive, repeated observations and measurements of root systems. Primary objectives of this review are to report features of several rhizotrons and to describe the types of research that have been and will be performed in them.

Portable Rhizotron and Color Scanner System for Monitoring Root Development
Plant and Soil, 1998Rhizotrons allow the examination of spatial and temporal in situ root development. Permanent rhizotron installations provide 2-D images of whole root profiles, but their immobility limits the number of soil-plant systems that can be studied. Our objectives were to develop a portable rhizotron and color scanning system for studying the development of ...

Applications and limitations of rhizotrons and minirhizotrons for root studies
Plant and Soil, 1990This paper discusses two glass-wall techniques-rhizotrons and minirhizotrons. Rhizotrons are covered underground walkways with clear windows on one or both sides. Their design varies somewhat with the type of research to be conducted in them. A minirhizotron consists of a clear tube inserted into the soil then some type of viewing arrangement is ...
