Agrointel

Agrointel is a Spanish agricultural technology (agtech) company that specializes in soil digital twins for irrigation management. Its core proposition is a method it brands as "a new way of irrigating," built on the combination of crop, climate and soil data. Rather than relying only on crop water demand and atmospheric conditions — the basis of what the company calls traditional irrigation — Agrointel adds the soil as a third variable, modelling how water actually moves through different soil types. The company's problem statement is that the hydraulic properties of soil change drastically, even within a few square metres, so clay, loam and sandy soils behave very differently. Without visibility into the soil, growers irrigate "blind," which leads to inefficient water use, losses through deep percolation, fertilizer waste through leaching, and unnecessary electricity costs from excessive pumping hours. Agrointel's solution follows a three-step method: crop × climate × soil. First, it analyses the farm by taking soil samples to map its hydraulic characteristics. Second, it creates a digital twin — an exact virtual copy of the holding — that allows simulation of what is happening at any moment. Third, its algorithms produce detailed, actionable irrigation recommendations for managing the operation. All farm data is centralized in a single platform, giving growers complete visibility of what is really happening on their land. The company positions itself on a technical differentiator: it does not irrigate only according to the plant's needs, but also takes the soil into account. Its stated benefits are improved use of water, fertilizers and electricity. Agrointel operates in the Spanish market and presents itself as a specialist in soil digital twins within the agtech sector.

Agrointel is a Spanish agtech company specializing in soil digital twins. Publicly available evidence describes its purpose and method rather than a detailed corporate chronology. The company presents itself through its official website under the tagline "Una nueva forma de regar" (a new way of irrigating), framing its work around the optimization of agricultural irrigation by calculating the movement of water in the soil. Its approach is built on a diagnosis of conventional irrigation. According to Agrointel, the hydraulic properties of soil change drastically, even within a few square metres, so clay, loam and sandy soils behave very differently. Without visibility of the soil, growers irrigate blindly, producing inefficient water use with losses through deep percolation, fertilizer losses through leaching when wet bulbs are not planned correctly, and electricity overcosts because excessive irrigation times translate into more pumping hours than necessary. In response, the company developed what it calls the Método Agrointel, summarized as crop × climate × soil. The method has three stages. First, it analyses the farm by taking soil samples to determine composition and generate a map of its hydraulic characteristics. Second, it creates a digital twin — an exact virtual copy of the holding — that allows simulation of what is happening at all times. Third, its algorithms provide detailed, actionable information for managing the operation. These elements are delivered through a platform that centralizes all farm data in a single tool, giving complete visibility of what is really happening. Agrointel highlights a technical differentiator: whereas traditional irrigation considers only the plant and the atmosphere, calculating the crop's water demand, Agrointel also accounts for the soil, adjusting water demand accordingly. The company states that it improves the use of water, fertilizers and electricity. It operates in Spain and is associated with the agtech sector focused on soil digital twins.

Technical differentiation through soil-aware irrigation: it claims to irrigate not only according to plant needs but also taking the soil into account, improving water, fertilizer and electricity use.
