| Abstract: | Summary A simple method for making detailed measurements of seedling root systems is described. Photocopies of root systems are traced
over by an operator using a digitizing system attached to a microcomputer. The computer calculates and prints the lengths
of axis, laterals and sublaterals for each root system. Accurate measurements can be achieved with a degree of speed and detail
unobtainable by other methods. |
