3. Hypothesis
GPR is capable of phenotyping root biomass of wheat in
situ.
Objectives
Develop the use of GPR for phenotyping below ground
biomass, in the context of higher yield stability during
drought and high temperature stress.
• The validation of GPR to non-destructively detect wheat
roots in a controlled and stressed environment for
correlation to traditional destructive root measurements.

10. Conclusions
• Spatial relationship between
plots and GPR amplitude
return in both control and
treatment.
• In field spatial variability
will need to be considered in
future GPR studies.
• Root biomass and depth can
be visualized by GPR .
