The Synchrotron in Melbourne is one of Australia's most significant pieces of scientific infrastructure and it's giving researchers a perspective on soil that they've never had before. This investment is a partnership between GRDC, the University of South Australia and the University of Queensland. Researchers are using the synchrotron imaging and medical beamline to produce high quality 3D imagery of roots growing directly into large, undisturbed soil cores. Ultimately this research will benefit growers by giving a better understanding of the fate of fertilisers and making fertiliser use more efficient thus providing economic benefits as well.
