I-TEXGEO

Description

This project aims to develop an innovative IoT-supported geotextile-based sensor network and control system capable of monitoring key soil parameters such as moisture, temperature, nutrients (N, P, K), and pH level with the goal of enhancing precision agriculture, soil health and sustainable crop growth. The system, designed with a biodegradable, carbon-impregnated geotextile structure, will reduce the need for excessive fertilizers, pesticides and water while facilitating and improving nutrient retention, plant root respiration, soil health and crop yields. The first phase will focus on the development of a novel intelligent IoT supported geotextile multi-sensor network and control system (i-TexGeo), which will possess advanced sensing capabilities for comprehensive soil monitoring. In the second phase, the soil field studies covering implementation of i-TexGeo system will be realized across a diverse range of geographical areas, including Europe, Tunisia, and Turkey on a laboratory scale within the soil field laboratories of Agricultural Institutes and real-world agricultural environments with farmers. It focuses on the continuous monitoring and tracking of soil parameters, integrating interdisciplinary efforts across textiles, electronics, information technology, communication systems and agricultural sciences. By fostering collaboration among these fields, the project seeks to enhance precision agriculture through real-time data collection and analysis, ultimately promoting sustainable farming practices improving soil health and crop management. Through the integration of innovative geotextile based sensor technology together with IoT, the project will foster the development of a sustainable solution for modern smart precision agriculture, benefiting various segments of society, including farmers, agricultural communities, scientists, policymakers and consumers at large.
