1. Effect of Mycorrhizal Inoculation on Growth and Nutrient Uptake by Leek (Allium porrum) fertilized with Inorganic N Combined with Saturated Polonite
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Biosystems and Technology (from 130101)Abstract : The continuous rise in global population continues to increase the demand for food. Meeting this rise in demand requires an increase in agricultural input, such as applying fertilizers, including phosphorus (P). READ MORE

2. Nodulation and biomass development of yellow and blue lucerne under pH stress
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Crop Production EcologyAbstract : Approximately 77% of global arable land use is devoted to forage cultivation, which is the basis for animal production and global food security. Therefore a sustainable and biologically diverse forage cultivation is needed. Feed for cattle needs to contain a good balance between fibre, energy and protein. READ MORE

3. Non-Destructive Biomass and Relative Growth Rate Estimation in Aeroponic Agriculture using Machine Learning
University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematik LTHAbstract : Optimising plant growth in a controlled climate requires good measurements of both biomass (measured in grams) and relative growth rate (measured in grams of growth per day and gram of plant). In order to do this efficiently and continuously on an individual level during plant development, this has to be done non-destructively and without frequent and labor intensive weighing of plant biomass.

4. In-vivo imaging of root growth in response to localized mechanical stress
University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and EnvironmentAbstract : By taking up nutrients and water, root growth has an important influence on plant growth and productivity. Thereby, root growth is influenced by its surrounding soil conditions, which vary spatially even on a small scale. Hence, different parts of the root system are exposed to different penetration resistances in the soil. READ MORE
