Hydroponics

Nano Bubble Technologies is an Australian based company that has developed a method of creating supersaturated levels of oxygen in irrigation water through the creation of Nano Bubbles which delivers oxygen direct to the root system. The dissolved oxygen in rain water is 8ppm, the NBT Hydroponics Solution can deliver up to 40ppm every time you irrigate.

Key Benefits

• Treatment for feed water to obtain clean water being fed to plants
• Elimination of coliforms, fungi and Pythium
• Increased DO of water
• Healthy root systems
• Increased yields of plants
• Control of algae.

More Oxygen Will Improve Plant Health

Oxygen is an essential plant nutrient, plant root systems require oxygen for aerobic respiration, an essential plant process that releases energy for root growth and nutrient uptake.

Basil Trials

Hydroponics farms aim to increase yield per m². The yield is improved with increased oxygen in the irrigation water. We have been working with leading herd growers nationally and have had a 11% improvement in growth which is driven by higher dissolved oxygen levels and nutrient absorption.

Barley Malting

Aim to decrease barley malting process time, Increase germination rate of barley seeds which improves quality of produced malt, Eliminate the use of plant growth hormone Gibberellic Acid, Reduce water usage of the steeping phase, Seeds can stay submerged in water which is continually recycled.

Current process involves periodically emptying the water and refilling, Anti-microbial action of oxygen nano bubbles keeps seeds bacteria and mould free. Small scale trials performed with a 50% reduction in stepping time and 100% germination rate. Barley Malting consultants have been engaged to perform small scale trials which, if successful, will lead to large scale commercial trials.
