A pool of Rhizoboxes is now available at the PGEP facility. These are specialized, flat-sided containers used in plant biology and agriculture to study root systems and the surrounding soil (the rhizosphere).

Thanks to their design, they allow researchers to non-invasively observe and measure over time:

• Root growth
• Root architecture
• Nutrient interactions in the soil

Rhizoboxes can be set up in 4 different configurations:

🔹 Classic                                                                                                                                                

🔹 Drainage                                                                                                                                             

🔹 Drainage only back
