Can I Use the CI‑600 Root Imager in Sandy Soils?

CI-600 In-Situ Root Imager

Yes, the CI-600 Root Imager can be used in sandy soils, and in many cases sandy sites are actually well suited to this kind of root work. The bigger point, though, is that success in sand comes down to installation quality, tube stability, and a workflow built for repeated, non-destructive measurements over time. The CI-600… Continue reading…

CI‑600 Root Imager vs CI‑602 Narrow Gauge Root Imager: Which suits your experiment?

Studying roots in their natural environment pushes researchers to choose tools that reveal underground dynamics without disturbing the system. The CI-600 and CI-602 both capture clear in situ root images, yet they serve different experimental setups. Root imaging supports work on growth rates, branching patterns, seasonal turnover, root longevity and soil interactions. Choosing the right… Continue reading…
