Abstract/Contents: | Root observation containers known as rhizotrons are discussed as to construction and design of the facilities, their purpose, and current studies on Stenotaphrum, their purpose and current studies on Stenotaphrum secundatum and Cynodon. Diagrams and measurements are given of the structure. Environmental parameters studied currently on certain turfgrass include temperature effects monitored by copper- constantan thermocouples, and water content of soil and leaf monitored by psychrometers. Collected root data includes: growth rates, branching, initiation, and senescence. |
