Monitoring of maize root growth on N, P, and K fertilization using rhizotron
Jurnal Ilmiah Pertanian, 2021 Maize roots will show varying growth responses to the type of fertilizer given. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of N, P, and K fertilizers on the growth of maize roots and the function of the relationship between root dry weight ...

A new compartmentalised rhizotron system for root phenotyping
Italian Journal of Agronomy, 2015 Although roots are the key organs for plant fitness, studies on root phenotyping and dynamics of water uptake are difficult and costly. Here we present a new compartmentalised rhizotron system that attempts to integrate some positive features of ...

Phenotyping Root and Shoot Traits for Drought Response in Bambara Groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.) [PDF]
PlantsDrought stress poses a significant challenge to food security in sub-Saharan Africa, particularly for smallholder farmers in dryland systems. Bambara groundnut (Vigna subterranea (L.) Verdc.), an underutilised legume with inherent drought tolerance ...

Precrop-treated soil influences wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) root system architecture and its response to drought [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceAimsRoot system architecture (RSA) plays an important role in the plant’s ability to sustain yield under abiotic stresses such as drought. Preceding crops (precrops) can affect the yield of the proceeding crop, partially by affecting the RSA.

Phenotypic and histological analyses on the resistance of melon to Phelipanche aegyptiaca [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Melon (Cucumis melo L.) is an economically important crop in Xinjiang, China, but its production is constrained by the parasitic plant Phelipanche aegyptiaca that attaches to the roots of many crops and causes severe stunting and loss of yield. Rhizotron,

(In)determinacy in Woody Plants: Limits and Opportunities for Timing Growth in a Changing Climate. [PDF]
Ecol LettTree growth is shaped not only by temperature and water availability, but also by intrinsic developmental programming that constrains when and how long meristems remain active. We use (in)determinacy—the continuum from fixed, preformed seasonal growth to more flexible, ongoing organ production—to predict how species will differ in risk exposure ...

Evaluation of deep root phenotyping techniques in tube rhizotrons
Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica. Section B, Soil and Plant Science, 2019 Selection for deep rooting is critical for the development of genotypes that are able to explore deep soil water and nutrients, particularly as agricultural resources become more limited.

Bacillus seed coating mitigates early growth reduction in successive winter wheat without altering rhizosphere bacterial and archaeal communities [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyThe soil legacy of successively grown winter wheat (WW) often leads to lower plant growth and yield. In this study, we assessed the effect of Bacillus pumilus seed inoculation on the early growth of successively grown WW.

Quantitative phenotyping of crop roots with spectral electrical impedance tomography: a rhizotron study with optimized measurement design [PDF]
Plant MethodsBackground Root systems are key contributors to plant health, resilience, and, ultimately, yield of agricultural crops. To optimize plant performance, phenotyping trials are conducted to breed plants with diverse root traits.
