The efficacy of nano bubble technology to improve plant production across all crop types

Title : The efficacy of nano bubble technology to improve plant production across all crop types

Abstract:

Nano bubbles are oxygen-filled particles of water with a diameter less than 200 nanometers, are electrically charged with a hard shell and provide an exponentially larger surface area than 0.1 mm bubbles. Oxygen-nanobubble significantly increase the dissolved oxygen concentration of water. Nano-bubbles are hydrophobic, do not precipitate out, and can be applied in every water delivery system and every crop. This session will unpack the science and benefits and cost points of using nano-bubbles for irrigation and explain how the technology reduces pathogens in the root zone, reduces surface compaction, mobilizes salts below the root zone, and reduces surface tension of water molecules for improved water and nutrient efficiency. In addition, this session will present peer-reviewed literature showing evidence that nano bubble technology reduces GHG methane, carbon, and nitrogen emissions in cattle feed and manure, and in all crops. Nano bubble technology increases crop yields and, importantly, horticultural caliber such that a significantly and positively increase in quality of fruit is produced.
