APPLICATIONS OF NANOBUBBLES IN AGRICULTURE
In our Agricultural vertical we develop solutions through nanobubble technology in different stages of the agricultural production process with extensive use of water, with the objective of greater productive performance, reducing water use, implementing more sustainable solutions and making some more efficient. operations.
We have applications in irrigation of fruit trees and vegetables, with the aim of increasing calibers, improving oxygenation and root health. In the post-harvest, we seek to reduce rot, remove sooty mold and improve water quality, with consequent benefits such as an increase in exportable fruit.
We also develop solutions in green areas, clubs and parks, such as efficient irrigation and algae control in dams, lagoons, and different bodies of water, reducing algaecides used for these purposes by up to 100%.
We believe that the agricultural industry can move towards more sustainable development and that the nanobubble is a great tool to achieve this. The physical-chemical properties of nanobubbles make them the best vehicle to transfer a gas, to better penetrate the soil and the skin of the fruit, and reach high saturations in a stable manner over time.
CASE STUDIES
Agricultural – Irrigation of fruit
trees Cherry trees
Date: December 2022
Company: EcoFresh
Location: Región del Maule, Chile
Duration: October– March (182 days)
Results: Increase in caliber, fruit weight and firmness.
Agricultural – Irrigation of fruit trees apple trees
Date: Season 2021 – 2022
Enterprise: Apple Producer
Place: Longaví, Maule Region, Chile
Duration: 6 months
Results: An increase of 16.7% in yield per hectare, 18% in weight per fruit. 66% more fruit concentrated in the largest sizes (caliber 70, 80, 90) than fruit irrigated without NB.
Agricultural – Urban Park Irrigation
Date: Season 2021 – 2022
Customer: Municipality of Vitacura
Place: Bicentennial Park, Vitacura, Metropolitan Region
Duration: 90 days
Results: Reduction of irrigation water by 50%.
Agricultural – Algae Control in Irrigation Dams
Date: February 2022
Enterprise: Monteoscuro
Place: San Pedro, Región Metropolitana, Chile
Duration: 3 months
Results: Control of algae blooms in the irrigation dam, completely eliminating the use of copper sulphate as an algaecide. Less algae present and better water quality that led to a decrease in the frequency of cleaning and changing filters.
Agricultural – Odor Control Water Reuse for Irrigation
Date: November 2021
Enterprise: Frutexsa
Place: Buin, Metropolitan Region, Chile
Duration: 32 days
Results: Control of odor emanation, increase of DO and ORP in irrigation dam.
Agricultural – Lettuce Production
Date: November2017
Place: Chillán
Duration: 65 days
Results: Between 59% and 120% more biomass. Between 30% and 39% more stem diameter.
Agricultural – Control of Pseudomonas in nurseries
Date: March 2021
Place: Hijuelas, Quillota Province
Duration: 8 days
Results: 47% less presence of Pseudomonas than commercial control and considerable decrease in severity.
Agricultural – Sanitization of sausage process
Date: July 2021 Location: Chile Duration: 1 day Results: Reduction of up to 75% of the presence of listeria in sausage transport carts.
