Treatment effect on strawberry root growth. Amendment-treated strawberry plants display evidence of root growth promotion, as compared to controls. (a) Line plot illustrating the average trend of 5 to 6 replicates per treatment per time point for root fresh weight (RFW) in grams and percentage Root Water Content (RWC) in amendment-treated (indicated in blue) and control (yellow) strawberry plants across the four sampling time points. Data shown are mean ± SE. ‘*’ indicates p-value < 0.01 (b) Photographs of amendment-treated and control strawberry fields across four time points in upper panel. Four time points correspond to sampling dates of March 18 (light grey circle), April 8 (grey circle), May 13 (dark grey circle), and August 24 (black circle) in 2015. (c) Two representative plants from treated and control fields from the 3rd sampling time point in lower panel. Amendment-treated strawberry plant displays enhanced root proliferation at the crown and greater aboveground shoot biomass.
