Non-destructive Method for Root Elongation Measurement in Soil Using Acoustic Emission Sensors

Non-destructive Method for Root Elongation Measurement in Soil Using Acoustic Emission Sensors

A new non-destructive method for the measurement of root elongation in soil was developed using acoustic emission (AE) sensors. Collisions between soil particles caused by the growth of the root tip generated sound pulses that were detected by the AE sensors. In a simulation experiment, using a stai...
