GPR sees use in high value crop management such as vineyards. The primary focus is on managing soil water content to provide optimal growing conditions. A corollary focus is on soil conditions, structure and character that affect water flow and drainage. While smart farming is a primary area of use, recreational areas such as golf course greens are another focus.
- Applications:
Golf Green Management
Agricultural Drainage Tiles
Metal Soil Water Content

Employing GPR to examine the interior of trees and derived wood products and structures is a growing area of GPR applications. Uses range from examining variations in water content to looking for disease and rot. Recent concerns about buildup of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has seen GPR used to improve knowledge about tree root zones. Another common application involves examining the state of utility poles.
- Applications:
Tree Roots
Wooden Poles & Trees
Assessing conditions on and around brown field sites is an area of that sees substantial GPR usage. Applications range from locating buried infrastructure such as barrels, pipes and old foundations though locating changes in soil fill conditions to detection of contaminant plumes.

Agricultural Drainage
Agricultural drainage systems have been in use worldwide for centuries. Some systems are constructed of modern plastic piping while others are made of clay tiles and some are even stone filled trenches. Locating and determining the condition of these drain systems represents a major challenge as there are seldom records of their location.
