Automated root cutting

Automated root cutting is the process of cutting the plant roots by using machinery or robotic equipment. It is typically practiced in nurseries or large-scale agricultural operations. This process is often employed during transplanting or when preparing plants for container growth. The system is designed to make precise cuts to the roots, which helps prevent the plants from becoming root-bound and encourages the development of a healthier, more fibrous root system.

Automated root-cutting systems are useful for improving plant growth and ensuring that the roots have enough space to spread out and absorb nutrients effectively. This technique is especially valuable in large-scale horticulture, where manual root cutting would be too labor-intensive and time-consuming. This approach ensures consistency, reduces labor costs, and promotes healthier plants.
