Read real field conditions
Track soil moisture at depth, local microclimate, and water-quality signals where stress actually builds.
Built for the Piana di Catania
AgriterraX tells you where to irrigate today and where to hold back.
A precision irrigation system for citrus farms dealing with drought, unreliable water delivery, and rising salinity across Sicily.

The shift
Stop irrigating by habit. Start irrigating by field condition.
Many farms still irrigate by routine, fixed calendars, or visible stress. AgriterraX changes that. It reads the soil profile, local microclimate, and water quality, then turns that information into one practical recommendation for the day.
Apr–Oct
Structural drought makes fixed calendars less reliable every season.
50%+
of irrigation water can be lost in aging networks before it reaches the field.
salinity
Reduces fruit size, delays ripening, and raises plant stress.
How it works
Built to support a field decision, not just display more data.
The first version stays narrow on purpose: irrigation stress, water prioritization, and salinity risk for citrus-led farms. That is what keeps the system simple enough to use every day.
Turn signals into one clear call
AgriterraX translates scattered readings into a simple daily status for each zone: irrigate, wait, or check salinity risk.
Act before stress becomes damage
Growers and field operators get a practical next step instead of a dashboard they still have to interpret.
A week with AgriterraX
From the soil to your phone, no consultant needed.
Sunday evening
Weekly plan: 3 cycles of 6 hours — Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The lemon grove can skip the first turn.
Wednesday morning
🔴 North field: moisture at 21% at 15 cm. Irrigate today, one 6-hour cycle.
Wednesday evening
I noticed a moisture rise at 6 pm. Did you irrigate?
Yes, 6 hours as planned 👍
Good. The 40 cm probe responded too: the cycle was right, no need to extend. 🟢
Installation
Half a day, no wiring.
-
Probes in the soil
Two depths per zone — 15 and 40 cm — right where irrigation decisions are actually made.
-
One long-range gateway
A single antenna covers the farm within a 5-10 km radius. No SIM cards, no cables between the rows.
-
No app to learn
Guidance arrives on Telegram, where you already talk to everyone.
Why now
Water is already the first thing to manage.
over 50%
of the water fed into irrigation networks can be lost before it reaches the field
€70/hour
the cost of a private water tanker when your delivery turn skips
up to 25%
of water saved with data-driven irrigation — our estimate on the first installations
What matters
The advantage is not the sensor alone. It is local trust, orchard data, and a product growers can use in the morning without a consultant beside them.

Pilot
Want to test AgriterraX on a real farm this season?
Tell us where the farm is, what you grow, and what water problem you are trying to manage. We will review it and reply if a pilot makes sense.
Best fit today: citrus-led farms in eastern Sicily dealing with drought, irregular delivery, or salinity pressure.
