    Optimization of Biomass and Compost Management to Sustain Soil Organic Matter in Energy Cane Crop** Systems in a Tropical Polluted Soil: a Modelling Study

    In French West Indies, the high dependency of the electricity mix on imported fossil fuels has led local authorities to propose the conversion of some land to the production of energy cane. This conversion mai...

    Functional Relationship Between Sugarcane Root Biomass and Length for Crop** System Applications

    Sugarcane root length density (RLD, m/m3) and root biomass are key characteristics for respectively determining: (i) the crop nutrient and water uptake capacity, and (ii) carbon partitioning in plants and balance...

    Towards a simple generic model for upland rice root length density estimation from root intersections on soil profile

    Root length density (RLD), a key factor for water and nutrient uptake, varies as a function of space and time, and is laborious to measure by root washing. In order to estimate RLD from root intersection densi...

    Modeling growth and distribution of maize (Zea mays L.) roots under field conditions in the eastern plains of Colombia

    A new technology was used to estimate root-length density and root exploration from root counts (grid method) on soil profiles. This method includes a computer model, developed by Chopart and Siband (1999). Th...

    Development and validation of a model to describe root length density of maize from root counts on soil profiles

    Root length density (RLD) is an important determinant of crop water and nutrient acquisition, but is difficult to measure in the field. On a soil profile, in-situ counts of root impacts per unit surface on soi...
