Plant root system observation equipment

Abstract

The invention discloses plant root system observation equipment and relates to the technical field of plant root system observation. The plant root system observation equipment includes an observationdevice and a base, an outer cylinder is fixedly connected with the top of the base, an inner cylinder is movably connected with the interior of the outer cylinder, the portion, located between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, of the top of the base is fixedly connected with a positioning block, micro-root tubes sleeve on the exterior of the positioning block, through holes are formed inthe surface of each of the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, the left side of the observation device is electrically connected with detection rods through wires, the bottom ends of the detectionrods extend to the interiors of the micro-root tubes respectively, and cameras are fixedly connected with the bottom ends of the detection rods respectively. By adopting the plant root system observation equipment, through the arrangement of the inner cylinder in cooperation with the outer cylinder and the arrangement of the micro-root tubes between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, newroot systems in the second year can pass through the inner cylinder, accordingly roots grow between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, the growth conditions of newly added root systems are observed through the micro-root tubes, and previous roots are effectively isolated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of plant root system observation, in particular to a plant root system observation device. Background technique [0002] Micro-root window technology is a non-destructive, fixed-point direct observation and research method of plant roots. It is the most important method for monitoring living roots and dynamic growth of roots. Its biggest advantage is that it does not interfere with the growth process of fine roots. It can continuously monitor the change process of a single fine root from birth to death, and can also record the growth, production and phenology of fine roots, root hairs and mycorrhiza. Provide root system analysis software, which can quantify root system related data, including root length, area, number of root tips, diameter distribution pattern, number of dead roots and surviving roots, etc. It can also monitor the soil moisture status according to user needs, so as to study the physiologic...

Problems solved by technology

[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a plant root system observation device, which solves the biggest problem encountered by the existing root system detection method, which is that it is difficult to distinguish whether the root system is a new root or an old root, thus causing certain difficulties for subsequent analysis
