  abstract = {{A} method has been developed to measure root intersection density ({RID}) on a trench-profile in field conditions. {H}ere we describe how 2{D} spatial distribution mapping of {RID} can be processed and converted into root length density ({RLD}) and root distances ({ARD}) using a new freeware named {RACINE}2.2. {T}he software also allows a simple modeling of potential root extraction ratio in the soil ({PRER}). {T}he software contains models calculating {RLD}, {ARD}, and {PRER} from {RID} for several crops (maize, sorghum, sugarcane, rice, pearl millet, pineapple, eucalyptus). {M}odels may be changed or added into {RACINE}2.2. {RLD}, {ARD}, and {PRER} are calculated for each spatial unit and can be used to generate 2{D} maps using {RACINE}2.2. {D}ata can be exported to a spreadsheet or a surface mapping software for further analysis. {I}t is also possible to import data into {RACINE}2.2 from a spreadsheet. {T}his application thus makes studies about root-soil interactions, root growth, and root uptake easier. {I}t opens new avenues to characterize root systems to improve root water and nutrient uptake in field conditions.},
