Core-labelling technique (CLT): a novel combination of the ingrowth-core method and tracer technique for deep root study

Abstract Background Ingrowth-core method is a useful tool to determine fine root growth of standing crops by inserting root-free soil in mesh-bags for certain period of time. However, the root density observed by the method does not directly explain the nutrient uptake potential of crop plants as it...
