Sustainable and Smart Precision Agriculture with
IoT-Supported Electronic Geotextiles

Increasingly varied, chaotic, and impactful weather phenomena due to climate change pose a serious threat to agriculture. More tools are required to monitor and protect yields and soil. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the I-TEXGEO project will develop an IoT-supported geotextile-based sensor network and control system that will monitor key soil parameters.

Significance of
I-TexGeo

  • Advancement in Intelligent (Smart/e-Textiles) Textiles
    Pioneers the use of biodegradable, carbon-impregnated geotextiles that are both a monitoring platform and a soil-enhancing material. 
  • Real-time, In-situ Soil Sensing and Intelligence
    Enables continuous, in-situ measurement of moisture, temperature, NPK levels, and pH, supporting next-generation soil health management.
  • Multidisciplinary Integration
    Combines agronomy, material science, IoT, and data analytics in a unified solution for underground soil monitoring. 
  • Soil-Plant Interaction Insights
    Offers new opportunities for root-level studies, nutrient flow dynamics, and soil health optimization.
  • Sustainability Impact
    Supports precision agriculture goals, reduces overuse of agrochemicals, and minimizes environmental runoff.
