- Intervention effect L3CS3 radicle-tip excision significantly increased shoot and root fresh and dry weights, leaf area, and plant height.
- Intervention effect Radicle-tip excision substantially improved lateral root number, network depth, volume and convex area.
- Association Lateral root traits were strongly related to overall seedling vigor.
- Recommendation The authors suggest radicle-tip excision as a scalable way to improve root function and transplant performance in pistachio.
