Ghana: Scientists turn to 3D imaging to improve crop yields

Scientists in Ghana are set to “see” beneath the soil surface in real time for the first time, using a new technology expected to improve climate-resilient farming and deepen understanding of how water and nutrients move underground.

The technology, which uses three-dimensional (3D) subsurface imaging to monitor water movement and soil conditions, is being deployed by the Crops Research Institute (CSIR-CRI) of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) under a new…
