Our Story

It all began in 2006 when a group of passionate academics and farmers founded the "Irrigation & Drainage Research Group" (IDRG). What started as a close-knit team of makers, tinkerers, and brilliant students quickly evolved into a hub for pioneering agricultural technologies. Our mission was clear: revolutionize agricultural management practices with cutting-edge innovations and offer unwavering support to researchers and growers. This is the very foundation on which EnviTronics Lab was built.

As IDRG, we broke new ground in the agriculture industry, securing numerous contracts, filing patents, and publishing breakthrough research. Among our achievements was the creation of a water level data-logging system using ultrasonic transducers and pressure sensors—an indispensable tool for hydraulic labs. Another milestone was our four-year journey developing and commercializing a highly successful soil moisture probe.

In recent years, our focus has shifted to addressing the R&D needs of North American agriculture. We've been at the forefront of developing sensors, decision-support software, and innovative algorithms, leveraging physics-based approaches, real-time thermal-spectral sensing, wireless communication, and IoT.

A significant part of our efforts is dedicated to creating cost-effective imaging-based sensors for continuous crop monitoring. These advanced sensors, equipped with onboard image processing, machine learning, and IoT capabilities, empower growers and researchers with actionable insights. We're not just developing these technologies; we're rigorously testing them in various applications and are on the path to commercialization.

At EnviTronics Lab, our passion for integrating technology with agriculture knows no bounds. We're always eager to explore new R&D opportunities with you and help you discover smart, sustainable solutions for the future of farming. With our strong ties to the industry and private sector, we're ready to bring these innovations to market.
