Abstract excerpt
Deep rooting winter wheat genotypes can reduce nitrate leaching losses and increase N uptake. We aimed to investigate which deep root traits are correlated to deep N uptake and to estimate genetic variation in root traits and deep 15 N tracer uptake. In 2 years, winter wheat genotypes were grown in RadiMax, a semifield root-screening facility. Minirhizotron root imaging was performed three times during the main...
