Iran: Using homemade nanobubble generators to grow hydroponic strawberries

"The use of nanobubble water has significantly increased the dissolved oxygen in the irrigation system, and this increase has not only improved plant growth but also reduced the need for many additives and chemical inputs," said Valid Ettehadi, an activist in the field of greenhouse agriculture.

He noted that based on the data recorded in the greenhouse, the amount of dissolved oxygen in the water in normal conditions and without the use of nanobubbles was about 5 ppm, adding that after installing the NANOX device, this amount increased to the range of 14 to 16 ppm, which shows an increase of more than 200 percent and has greatly improved the root environment and balanced and enhanced its biological activities.

"One of the most important effects observed in the greenhouse cultivation system has been the complete elimination of the need for fungicides, Ettehadi said, adding that in conventional hydroponic cultivation methods, after the first harvest, the environment around the roots becomes susceptible to fungal growth, and farmers are forced to use chemical fungicides.

"After the use of nanobubble water, fungicides have no longer been needed and the health of the root bed has been maintained naturally," he stated.
