Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR)Project: Below-ground cassava root phenotyping

Abstract

IITA and IDS GeoRadar are partnering to develop a grand penetrating radar tool that will be useful for non-destructive estimation of cassava root yield as a high throughput phenotyping tool. The project is funded by the Bill and Melina Gates Foundation. The goal is to develop a commercial prototype phenotyping tool by the end of 2022.
