Fifteen years of citrus greening disease (HLB) has had a devastating effect on Florida’s citrus industry, but the work of Dr. Lorenzo Rossi and his team is aiming to turn that around and making great strides using the CI-602 Narrow Gauge Root Imager.
University of Florida Plant Root Biologist Dr. Lorenzo Rossi sits down with CID Application Scientist Galen George to discuss commercially impactful root research on Florida peach cultivation, and HLB-affected citrus trees using the CI-602 Narrow Gauge Root Imager.
During this time of social distancing, let’s come together (virtually) to talk about root research! Special guest researcher Dr. Lorenzo Rossi of the University of Florida, along with our application scientist, Galen George, review real life situations where root research has been used and will discuss where it’s headed in the future. 4 published studies… Continue reading…
The CI-600 and CI-602 Root Imagers enable researchers to non-destructively analyze root systems, mycorrhizae and soil conditions.
