Show Notes
Wouldn't it be nice if we could see how the roots of a plant respond to treatments? Dr. Isaac Madsen, Extension Agronomist at Washington State University, teaches us about the innovative work he as been doing with scanner technology and root observation.
- What is the advantage of looking at roots instead of at the shoots?
- What crops can we do this with?
- What do we learn from these observations?
- Are there other forms of nitrate-based fertilizers that eliminate the NH4-induced root damage?
- What is the interest in oil seed crops in the Pacific Northwest?
