Ground-penetrating radar and it's contribution to precision farming

摘要

Ground-penetrating radar (GPR) is a high-resolution method which provides details of internal structures and their depth. Measurements have been carried out on nine fields (total area about 60 ha) near Helmstedt, Lower Saxony. The examples from four fields presented here show areas of differing signal strength and differing depth penetration. Areas with weak signals correlate with clayey-silty soil; strong signals correlate with gravely and sandy soil.
