Single Root Auger

This single root auger is very cost effective and gives large cylindrical cores. The auger is easy to clean and suitable for soft (turf) layers.

Root research is executed to improve the insight in the possibilities for root growth (depth and concentration) of the root system of trees and plants. An extensive root system allows the plant to benefit from a large volume of soil. If enough nutrients and water are present, the absorption will be larger if the root system is more extensive. Measuring the root system also is a useful means of localising physical and/or chemical barriers in the soil profile.
