UFB Labs-UNLOCKing THE POWER OF nanobubble through application r&d

The impact of nanobubbles on plant roots

In horticulture, nanobubbles are used to create enriched water for irrigation to improve plant health, nutrient absorption, and growth. The technology enhances root health by increasing dissolved oxygen in the root zone, and its mild oxidative effect helps suppress waterborne pathogens and reduce reliance on chemical fungicides. Nanobubbles also improve soil structure, increase nutrient availability, and lead to higher crop yields and quality.

Improved root and soil health
  • Nanobubbles increase oxygen levels in the root zone, which promotes more vigorous root growth and improves soil aeration and permeability.

Enhanced nutrient uptake:
  • By improving oxygen availability and nutrient solubility in irrigation water, nanobubbles help plants absorb nutrients more efficiently.

Disease suppression:
  • The oxidative potential of nanobubbles can disrupt and reduce harmful pathogens, leading to fewer diseases and less need for chemical treatments.

Water and system efficiency:
  • Nanobubbles can reduce water and nutrient requirements, and they help prevent biofilm buildup in irrigation pipes, ensuring consistent water flow and reducing maintenance.

Nanobubbles Research & Development Insights

Appropriate supply of dissolved oxygen contributes to the increase in the income of fish farmers by increasing production and maintaining longer freshness.

Promote Sustainability

Nanobubbles play a crucial role in fostering a healthy rhizosphere, the soil zone around plant roots. They support the growth of beneficial microorganisms like nitrogen-fixing bacteria and mycorrhizal fungi, which improve nutrient uptake and boost plant resilience. Simultaneously, the oxidative properties of nanobubbles help control harmful pathogens, creating a balanced and robust root environment.

Proven Benefits

Nanobubble generators are used to infuse water with tiny, stable bubbles that have a negative charge and remain stable for extended periods.

As the bubbles move through the root zone, they release oxygen and have a mild oxidative effect on their surroundings.
