Introduction: Root hairs increase the surface area of a plant’s root system that is in contact with the soil, thus facilitating plant water and nutrient uptake. However, little is known about the ...

Each morning Indian farmer R Murali opens an app on his phone to check if his pomegranate trees need watering, fertiliser or are at risk from pests. "It is a routine," Murali, 51, told AFP at his ...

Root systems play a pivotal role in water and nutrient uptake from soil. Lateral root (LR) growth is promoted to compensate for inhibited main root growth. Compensatory LR growth contributes to ...

Whether it warms quickly, is prone to erosion or holds moisture, your soil will dictate the methods you use from cultivation to harvest and the yields you achieve. Learn the key properties of the six ...
