How can you protect corn root health and improve your crop’s overall health and eventual yield? Learn about the threats to ...

which is termed N-dependent root system architecture (RSA). For cultivated crops, the cultivation of an ideotype RSA, characterized by sensitive plasticity under diverse N conditions, is paramount ...

Compaction is the hidden killer of root systems, and that can have a profound effect on soil health as well as crop performance, an audience at Groundswell heard. Surface compaction could reduce ...

Scientists have discovered how plants adapt their root systems in drought conditions to grow steeper into the soil to access deeper water reserves. Scientists have discovered how plants adapt ...

University of Queensland researchers have for the first time introduced genetic material into plants via their roots, opening a potential pathway for rapid crop improvement. The research is ...

The idea is to develop a deeper root system that is more tolerant of the heat. It is easy to check to find out if brown patches are receiving less water. Place shallow cans such as a tuna fish ...

To a shade tree, the first part of that supply chain is its root system. Water passes into the roots and from there it’s transported through the xylem cells (the bulk of a tree’s trunk — the ...
