🌱 What if crops could make better use of the phosphorus already in the soil?
Root2Res has developed #RootIdeotypes for improved phosphorus uptake in cereals, faba bean and potato.
👇 Explore the infographic to see an example of the Root2Res phosphorus ideotype for cereals
💧 Can we replicate the ideal root system against drought or waterlogging?
That's the idea behind #RootIdeotypes: a representation of an ideal root system for specific environmental conditions.
🌧️ Waterlogging
🌱 Early drought
☀️ Late drought
