A plant root observation device

Abstract

The invention discloses a plant root system observation device, which comprises an observer and a base. The top of the base is fixedly connected with an outer cylinder, and the inside of the outer cylinder is movably connected with an inner cylinder. The top of the base is located between the inner cylinder and the base. A positioning block is fixedly connected between the outer cylinders, and the outside of the positioning block is provided with a micro-root canal. The surfaces of the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder are provided with through holes, and the left side of the observer is electrically connected with a wire. A detection rod. The bottom end of the detection rod extends to the inside of the micro-root canal, and the bottom end of the detection rod is fixedly connected with a camera. The invention relates to the technical field of plant root system observation. The plant root system observation equipment sets the inner cylinder to cooperate with the outer cylinder, and sets the micro root canal between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder. After the device is installed, the new root system will pass through the inner cylinder in the second year, and the roots will grow to Between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder, it is convenient to observe the growth of the new root system through the micro-root canal, effectively isolating the old roots.

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
