Custom made plexiglass box

A special box with an aluminum frame has been especially designed for this very "unique" trial. The matter here was to isolate the exact same tree, coming from the exact same batch #. The idea was also to frame as much as possible the abiotic stress and weather conditions and to have a eye visual of the root development. Dirt from a citrus grove has been used to fill each compartiment. Compartiment totally and hermetically sealed to each other. Among a batch of about 500 trees, we randomised a picking of 6 young citrus trees. Each tree receives a standard program of nutrition and protection.
