Article Synopsis
- Roots are crucial for plant health, but assessing root systems is challenging due to their underground nature; existing methods are either slow or limited.
- This study developed efficient techniques to install and collect images from thousands of minirhizotrons, non-destructive tubes that allow observation of roots in their natural environment.
- Over three growing seasons, the research achieved the installation of up to 3038 minirhizotrons and collected over 300,000 images, significantly enhancing the ability to study root systems in large scale field trials.
