Idyllica has developed low-cost but highly efficient technological solutions to be able to scale up forests in dry conditions

Planting

Optimized planting at scale starts before the first seedling is even ready. We map the terrain to a high level of detail in 3D using drones to create a digital representation. This 3D model provides a useful baseline for future references and allows for the planning of the planting pattern and irrigation system.
‍
Aided by differential GPS (RTK) built into our drilling equipment. we can then translate the plan into reality. Centimeter-Accurate planting optimizes tree density and reduces planning cost and uncertainty when installing the irrigation system. Moreover, known and accurate locations allow for georeferencing individual trees over their lifetime. Each tree is individually tracked in our database.

Finally, we optimise water retention and reduce weed development by using Hidrogel and planting boxes.

Growing

Idyllica aims to minimize the amount of water used per tree to reduce the impact on water supplies. The water needs of a tree depend on many factors, such as climate, rainfall, soil and age of the tree. By varying watering intervals and drip rates we can promote different types of root development and tree growth.

A suite of sensors monitor soil huminidy, air temperature, air humidity and solar irridance. This data, together with weather forecasts and information about each tree from our database, allows us to optimize the amount of water dispensed.

Additionally, low cost sensors reporting over LoRaWan enable granualr insights and increased watering control.

Monitoring

Idyllica is working towards providing an insight into carbon sequestration as close to real time as possible. We therefore combine reliable manual measurement campaigns with automated data gathering.

We use a custom, offline-capable mobile app to enable easy and reliable manual monitoring. Trained employees are guided to the right trees to take measurements. The data is compiled in our tree database and processed to monitoring reports.

Drones are used to map the area regularly, spot problems, count trees and report on biomass changes.

Lastly, our suite of LoRaWan sensors automatically report on any changes.
