Making device and method for millet or wheat root system specimen

Abstract

The invention discloses a making device and method for a millet or wheat root system specimen. The making device mainly comprises three parts of an underground root system planting chamber, a plantingtube and a root system flushing water tank; the underground root system planting chamber is formed under the ground, so that the underground root system planting chamber is similar to a natural growth environment of the millet or wheat root system and is convenient to take out; the planting tube has a tubular body, the two ends of the tubular body are open, one end of the tubular body is exposedto the outside of the ground, and the other end of the tubular body is provided with a permeable soil blockage device; the root system flushing water tank has a space capable of containing the planting tube and is provided with a water inflow and outflow port. The making device is convenient and simple to use, the labor intensity can be greatly reduced, and the root system specimen is completely made, and is convenient to store for a long time, observe and research, and the making device and method are suitable for making for specimens of underground root systems of low crops such as millet and wheat.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of agricultural research, in particular to a device and method suitable for making underground root specimens of low crops such as millet and wheat. Background technique [0002] Millet, also known as millet, belongs to the Poaceae Setaria genus. It is known as the nurturing crop of the Chinese nation and is one of the main miscellaneous grain crops in my country at present. After the millet is shelled, it is called millet. It has high nutritional value and is a good nutritional product. It has a good nourishing effect on the weak and sick and puerpera. Millet is drought-tolerant and is a good drought-resistant crop. Although millet is no longer the main food crop, it still plays an important role in the northern dryland agricultural production where water resources are severely scarce. Therefore, it is of great significance to actively study the relationship between millet root distribution and drought resistance. ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, at present, the research on the distribution of the root system of millet mostly adopts the method of observing the vertical section of the soil, which is not only labor-intensive and time-consuming, but also labor-intensive, and it is difficult to collect complete root samples.

Although practitioners in this field have developed some equipment to replace labor, such as the patent developed by Sichuan Agricultural University, the application number is CN201820378856.6, and the invention name is "Soil Vertical Profile Excavation Device", which can reduce human labor, but still cannot ensure Complete root specimens were collected
