🌱 Measuring #RootTraits directly the field!
Today #ShovelomicsMethod
🔎 This method involves excavating plants with a spade and collecting the upper portion of the root system
✅ Why is it useful?
🔸Direct assessment of roots under real field conditions
🔸Low-cost and simple

🌱 How do we measure #RootTraits in the field?
#Root2Res is developing 4 methods to study roots directly underground:
🔸 Shovelomics
🔸 Minirhizotron
🔸 Soil pit
🔸 Soil coring
Over the coming weeks, we’ll explore each method in action! 👀

🌱 What makes crops resilient to drought, heat, and climate change?
#RootPhenotyping helps identify root traits that improve crop adaptation under different conditions 🌍🌾
At #Root2Res we're developing field-ready tools for more #ResilientAgriculture 🔬
