Research tests a low-cost phenotyping pipeline to measure root interactions in intercropped plants, suggesting practical applications for agriculture.
The aim of this research was to test a simple phenotyping pipeline based on the use of low-cost a simple phenotyping pipeline based on the use of low-cost, easily to assemble rhizoboxes, and rapid graphic indicators of root interactions. The pipeline was tested on white lupin (Lupinus albus L.) grown for three weeks as sole crop or intercropped with bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). We measured root system projected contour, visible root length, root system shape parameters and the area overlap between neighboring roots.
