Bean root phenotyping in field trench
Jim Burridge makes observations of soil type, texture and root distribution in a trench before washing soil from the wall and collecting exposed roots to measure root length distribution.
Bean planting
Researchers using the Almaco planter for common bean and tepary bean plots at ARBC in June 2016.
QGIS software
Jimmy Burridge using the QGIS software and computers in the laboratory at ARBC to organize common bean and tepary bean plots.
Field sample collection
Chris Strock and Hannah Schneider in the field at ARBC survey plots of common beans, take notes on flowering, and collect root samples for analysis of architecture and anatomy.
Compacted soil test sites
Overview of plots illustrates the visual reduction in biomass when maize plants are grown in compacted soil.
