Automatic plant root system monitoring system

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of plant root system detection, and provides an automatic plant root system monitoring system. Under the premise of not injuring the original plants, the growing states of root systems can directly viewed through organic glass soil columns, a plant root system monitoring subsystem acquires the soil moisture, temperatures and plant evaporation capabilities of a variety of plant root systems and data and images as plant root system growth parameters in real time, dynamically and in all weathers, a plant root system and leaf analysis subsystem carries out analysis on the plant root system images and the leaf images, and investigates the relation between the growth of the leaves and the growth of the root systems, and the moisture, nutrient, temperature and microbial indexes of rhizosphere soil can be monitored and sampled by observing openable small windows on the organic glass soil columns, so that the determination and analysis of various physiological and biochemical indexes and a root-cutting experiment can be carried out. The automatic plant root system monitoring system reduces errors produced by a single large field experiment, provides powerful data sources for more in-depth researches, and has the advantages of little risk, easy maintenance, wide application range and high operability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of plant root system monitoring, in particular to an automatic plant root system monitoring system. Background technique [0002] Plant roots have important physiological functions such as the absorption, transmission and storage of nutrients and water, and the fixation and support of plants. They support crops and play an important role in the biogeochemical cycle of ecosystems. [0003] The importance of plant root research has attracted the attention of domestic and foreign experts, but due to the complexity and difficulty of observation and sampling, the research progress is relatively slow. The root system is an important part of a plant, and its growth status is closely related to the growth of the entire plant. The root system has the functions of holding the soil and resisting soil erosion. Due to the limitation of soil unobservability, it is impossible to directly observe the growth state of the ro...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] The invention provides an automatic monitoring system for plant roots, which aims to solve the problem that the current analysis and measurement of root physiology and biochemistry are basically done through traditional excavation methods, root drilling methods, and section methods, which are time-consuming, laborious, damaged or even terminated The growth of the original plant is hindered, and the root system taken out is often incomplete or damaged to varying degrees, which makes it difficult to support the study of subsurface ecology.
