Quantification of seed–soil contact of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) using X-ray Computed Tomography
Abstract Background Seed–soil contact is important to ensure successful germination, however, there is a paucity of reported studies that have quantified the microstructure at and around this critical interface, mainly due to the opacity of soil. Results Here we describe a novel methodology to non-d...
