North Pivot Sampling 600
North pivot and blue skies
Rows of mesocosms in the greenhouse

Mesocosms allow root systems to grow to their full size

Root Washer

The root washer allows multiple soil samples to be washed simultaneously while roots contained in the samples are collected on screens.

P32 analysis

P32 is a radioactive form of phosphorus that can be used to measure P uptake

WinRhizo

WinRhizo is used to scan washed roots and to analyze length and morphological measurements.

Spectrophotometer

The spectrophotometer is used for colormetric assays for plant tissue and soil nutrient content.

Laser Ablation Facility

This laser cuts the surface of the root and allows high-throughput imaging.

Gas chromotagraphy

Gas chromotagraphy can be used to quantify the levels of many compounds. We have used it for ethylene.
