🌱⚡🔬#RootStressWeek Root system architecture reorganization under decreasing soil phosphorus lowers root system conductance of Zea mays by Felix Maximilian Bauer et al. in @annbot.bsky.social #freeaccess article 👉 doi.org/qjpb #RootBiology #RootPhysiology #PlantScience

As phosphorus becomes scarce, maize reorganizes its root system in ways that limit water uptake. This P-driven shift reduces root conductance and growth, showing that how roots are structured (not just how big they are) determines a plant’s ability to access water under stress.

🌾 A study from our members at @agrosphere-ibg-3.bsky.social found that thermal neutrons from Cosmic-ray neutron sensors correlates well with several parameter on plants and it is crop specific. The sensors is found to have potential in supporting eddy covariance stations. 📝 doi.org/10.1016/j.ag...

IBG-3 start-up Drought Analytics wants to make agriculture more resilient to droughts. Using real-time sensors and AI models, they measure soil water availability for plants, calculate irrigation requirements and identify potential water shortages for the regions of Germany drought-analytics.com
