Water retention behaviour of 3D-printed double-structured soil

Key Points

• Enhanced water retention was observed in double-structured soil compared to traditional methods, indicating better moisture management.
• Specifically, water retention increased by 40% under saturated conditions, demonstrating the potential of this innovative approach.
• Observational analysis of 3D-printed double-structured soil involved various water retention tests to assess performance metrics.
• These findings highlight the potential benefits of 3D-printed soil structures for improved agricultural efficiency in water usage.
