Ground penetrating radar (GPR) can be used for a variety of agricultural applications. This chapter summarizes the GPR background needed to apply this technique to agriculture, including a review of basic principles, data acquisition, and data processing methods. Recent advances in each of these areas are described. Applications to soil mapping, soil water content characterization, compaction, and root mass detection are discussed. A case study using GPR groundwaves to map the soil water content at two depths is presented. The chapter concludes with a summary of current capabilities and suggestions for future work.
