Horticulture: problems we treat

Root rot in recirculating systems: the oxygen behind it
Roots browning and going slick in a recirculating crop. The root zone has run short of oxygen, and the water molds behind root rot have moved in. See how a held reserve closes their opening.
Flat, low-oxygen irrigation water: the hidden cost
Water that sits warm and still in the reservoir arrives at the crop already short of oxygen. See what that costs the root zone downstream, and how a held reserve travels down the line.
Slow growth on recycled irrigation water: the oxygen limit
Feed and light are right, and the crop still crawls on recycled water. Oxygen drawn down each pass is usually the limit on uptake. See how a held root zone lets the roots use what they are given.
Poor germination and weak transplants: the oxygen behind them
Emergence that comes in scattered and transplants slow to take. A young root respires hard and needs oxygen to do it. See how oxygenated propagation water supports an even start.
Nutrient solution going anaerobic in closed-loop CEA
A recirculating nutrient solution that smells sour and grows a black film has run out of oxygen and turned anaerobic. See how oxygen held through the loop keeps the root zone from souring.
Biofilm and clogged drip emitters: the water behind it
Drippers blocking and lines slicking over. Much of what fouls emitters is seeded upstream, in a flat, nutrient-rich reservoir. See how oxygen at the source slows the fouling, with filtration doing the clearing.
Algae in an irrigation reservoir: the conditions behind it
A reservoir that greens up every summer and loads the lines downstream. Algae takes over where the water goes flat and nutrient-rich. See how restoring oxygen shifts the balance back.
