" We get questions from agriculturist about oxygen from all corner of the Earth , " Gert - Jan Mulder of Industrial Product Solutions disclose on one of the last summertime days of this twelvemonth in the Netherlands . After CEO André van der Stoel call up ' oxygen the forgotten component ' earlier this summer , growers set forth checking the oxygen level in their urine anyway . Gert - Jan : " For all growers , we spoke to recently , they saw their suspicions of oxygen inadequacy in the water affirm . "
NatureTraditionally , Industrial Product Solutions has been alive with systems for growing leafy vegetables and herbs on water , but since the call this summertime , IPS ' specialists have also been look into very different crop . " cultivator from lots of other crops recognise that atomic number 8 can also be a welcome addition in their position , for exercise , because they get at ALT , high in the mountains , where the amount of oxygen in the breeze is already of course much lower . Then , of course , it is not surprising that there is also less O in the water . However , growers do not always seem to be aware of this , we now find . It confirms what André point out this summertime : oxygen is a forgotten ingredient . "
Stimulating growthGert - Jan , André , and the rest of the team at IPS saw problems with chocolate-brown roots in black pepper and tomato culture , as well as in blueberry bush refinement . The cause , it turned out after mensuration in both case , was lack of oxygen in the water . Tulip scalders and ganja growers , among others , also digitally reported to the water - base cultivation specialists in ’s - Gravendeel . " By no substance always with very big problem , because growers are always looking for that few pct superfluous ontogeny , that increase in production , bigger plants or two centimeters longer stem . grower ultimately always desire to cause increment . And oxygen is crucial to that . "
Why this is so , André explain below . Water management in greenhouses is an aspect of polish that call for to be utterly monitor and adjusted . believe of the pH , the EC , the amount of alga , fungi , diseases , etc . But one factor that is at least as significant as those is often forgotten , find he and his team from Industrial Product Solutions : Dissolved oxygen .
biologic grandness of oxygenPlants need atomic number 8 for their growth . The O is absorbed by the roots in its dethaw form . atomic number 8 is important for the active uptake of essential nutrients like nitrogen , phosphate , and potassium , but also for the build - up of proteins and ironical topic production . A deficiency of O in irrigation water causes serious emergence problems , as André knows . Dissolved atomic number 8 is also of import for substrate quality . " gamey dissolve O concentrations cause a free-enterprise growth in soil life , to the disadvantage of pathogens . The amount of dissolved atomic number 8 also modulate the yield of substance that suppress disease and pests . "
information processing instal an oxygen shot unit in a nursery that cultivate on a aquicultural system , for example
Oxygen want in the irrigation waterIndustrial Product Solutions BV ( IPS ) from Dutch town ' s - Gravendeel , designed and develop a special , patented oxygen unit for introducing dissolved oxygen into the piddle .
This system exact into account the need of the plant , dissolved oxygen , and no aviation bubble . IPS have the request from various customers who had problem with oxygen deficiency .
IP oxygen injection unit
André explains : " The need of industrial plant and substrate for dissolved oxygen is not new . Research has already richly demonstrate the role dissolved oxygen manoeuvre in various chemical mechanism in the plant . Strangely enough , both the ply sphere and the growers do not seem to be cognizant of the grandness of sufficient dissolved oxygen in the irrigation H2O . "
In practice , the integral water composition is checked and adjusted , except for the O concentration , observe the CEO . " We could quite easily pertain the development problem in the ( hydroponic ) finish systems among our customers to the low oxygen content in the water . The development and installation of the atomic number 8 injectant unit work the problem for our customer and resulted in a significant step-up in growth and quality of the harvest . "
In the summer , the preoccupation of oxygen by the plant is the gamey due to the strong development during this period , continues André . " However , the oxygen capacitance of water system lessen as its temperature increase . O can introduce the water through diffusion from the atm . However , the contact airfoil of irrigation water ( in storage tank ) with the standard atmosphere is often relatively too low . Or there is no contact at all because the tank is sealed . Also , the time in which dissemination can take post is often too short for the amount of water . We urge adherence to the physical maximum dethaw atomic number 8 absorption of 8.5 ppm for water with a temperature of 25 ℃ . "
In practice , however , Industrial Product Solutions often measure assiduousness between 3 and 5 ppm at growers ' premises . " You do n’t want bacteria in your crop , and yet this water is the first to be used for watering ? There is no doubt that plants suffer a lot at these kinds of assiduousness . This does make the necessity of adding unthaw oxygen to the water crystal clear , " he clarify . " Our experience has shown that our dissolved oxygen injection unit can save a lot of agriculturist problems with the growth of their crop . "
The oxygen injection unit can be used in almost any cultivation system
Oxygen injectant unitIPS has completely renew its patented oxygen injection unit . Now the right resolution can be offered for every spot and oxygen requirement . IPS ' unit of measurement can increase the O concentration of the irrigation water up to 3 to 4 times the physical O uptake capability of the water without using much energy . " Through an level-headed method where O is mixed with water supply , the water absorbs the atomic number 8 promptly and expeditiously without charging the water , and the plant roots are not affected . This is in direct contrast to bubble generators . "
The trust atomic number 8 concentration can be easy adjusted by the grower , and the social unit can be installed in crease with other water system or stand alone . The unit is available in different size and adaptation , depending on the nursery ’s water requirements . According to André , this ensures that the building block can be used in many different growing system , such as ebb and flow systems , outside finish , commode refinement , vertical farming , and various aquiculture organization , both NFT and DFT .
Gert - Jan bestow . " Thanks to all the program from many unlike crop , we are belong to learn a lot of new things together with grower in the coming geological period . With the tests with our systems , we are building evidence about our stance . " At IPS , they are already examine the first improvements and prescribed results from the tests at agriculturalist worldwide . " For concrete yield figures , it is too early now , but as soon as we have these , we will decidedly pass along them towards the market . "
